Up, down and all around

What a roller coaster of days we've had. Good ones though. Thursday was good. Meetings in the AM with some good info and met some new people. Then my boys got here and that helped a lot. :) Thursday night was fun because it was our carnival with lots of junk food, games and of course Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy. Camden did awesome with them and gave them hugs and high fives and had a lot of fun. Then walked around the Boardwalk some and visited with friends.
Today was a bit more emotional but good. They had a beautiful breakfast laid out near the pool and water. Then general session which was a lot of what I heard yesterday and then to a grief session. Hence the down. It was good though. It's always nice to be around other people that "get it". Not that we want other people to get it. Nobody should ever have to bury a child. It's just not right or fair. It's also nice because there were people there in all different stages of grief. Some that lost children over a decade ago, some a year ago and some a month ago. I was very impressed with that couple. For being here that is amazing to me. They got their sons diagnosis when he was 10 weeks old. He passed away at 13 weeks. That was a month ago. They hang even been able to absorb the shock and pain of the diagnosis before he was gone. I admire them greatly for being here. Lots of memories?
Crests and laughter were shared. Picking up Camden from the kids room helped. :)
Then we went back up as we headed to downtown Disney. Lots of shops and just cool stuff to see. We tried to eat at T-Rex restaurant - it's like Rainforest Cafe but prehistoric. Camden screamed on the way to the table though and couldn't stop crying because he was scared. So we left. He an Keven built a car. leven was a little bummed because he couldn't talk Camden out of Lightning McQueen. And we are too cheap to make it a remote control car. So he has to paidh around. They still had fun though.
Then we headed to Wpcot to hang out for a bit before our special dessert buffet and our special seats for the firework and laser show. Unfortunately that's when it decided to Rain. So we didn't make it around Epcot. All Camo wanted to see wa the big ball and we didn't. We wnt to the UK because it started pouring again and then ran in the rain to where they had moved our went. And missed the fireworks because of the rain. So Epcot was a bit of a bummer. Maybe tomorrow will go better. Although Camo did see Pooh and Tigher and hugged them both an Eskimo kisses. He said they were soft and liked them. :)
Tomorrow we have some more grief sessions and them hit a different park.
Sorry if there are typos - I'm typing on my phone and cAnt see everything I'm typing. We did meet another family that is stationed in England. They have a 4 year old that was recently diagnosed with type 3. She and Camden had a lot of dun together. He ha fun even though soaking wet. So far so good. Now ifthe rain will go over to Texas that would be great! People from here say they need the rain. Nah. They don't really. Not like we do. At least not until next Wednesday ;)
