The Bubble Room was there two years ago when we stayed on Sanibel, so I assume so-we only toured it, but this time with more children we'll probably eat there too. These islands are so wonderful, and only my grandson and I have been there before. So exciting to show everyone else!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-18651404444999852802013-07-25T19:26:21.245-06:002013-07-25T19:26:21.245-06:00Oh my goodness.

I see that you are carrying on with determination, and hope, and joy - even in the face of hard things and difficult jobs. What an inspiration. You will remain in my prayers.<br />I am so glad you have such good support, and that you have made these days purposeful and memorable. I hope you have a wonderful trip to Captiva.

The first part is beautiful advice to family members in situations like yours -- that the visiting helps the other loved ones, and that so much joy can still be found in being together. I loved the ending too, about how you are "trying to build [your] own future". It makes me sad but it's so hopeful too. And your little haiku at the end makes me look forward to school!

She often didn't know my name, but always remembered I was a teacher. She loved to sing, but when we would visit, her favorite thing was for me to take her to see the birds. The home had a large aviary and she loved to sit and watch them.<br /><br />You have some difficult times to come, but I so admire the way you are handling your life (not sure that handling is the word I want....). Here's to some happy memories being made on the shores of the ocean.
