My Husband and I are many years apart. I am now 65, and he just turned 90 in April. We have been married almost 35 years. We did 4 WDW vacations together, and then I did 18 SOLO annual vacations. You see, I became obsessed with WDW, while he got sick of it all. This worked for us very well. I got my beloved solo WDW vacation, while he stayed home - comfortable, with our 2 cats. While I was at WDW, I called home a couple of times per day, and DH was able to relate to certain rides I talked to him about. His favorite was BTMR. I also called my Mom every day that I was away. ( And, I have no children or grandchildren )
I have been skipping my WDW visits for the last few years because DH has a heart condition - and he's now 90.
My Mom died last year at the age of 91.
So ….. although I know I will be at WDW again ……. I anticipate that it might be sad for me. I won't be able to call my Mom, and I won't be able to call my Husband.
I have already told my best friend, Cindy, that the next time I go to WDW, I will call Her as soon as I land in Orlando, just to tell her that I arrived safely. She's going to take up the slack of when I would call my DH or my Mom.
I am so blessed to have girlfriends !!!
