Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hi Laurie, I know this will be very hard and emotional for you. My prayers are with you for a easy adjustment. I know you will still stay very busy helping others here on where you are needed so badly.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Laurie, for some reason I had no idea that you had actually picked out a retirement date. I know it was a hard transition for me initially, but now I thank God I have the flexibility in my schedule to just feel sick when I need to. It makes life so much easier when you can go shopping during the day, or have a flexible schedule for appointments. It's definately culture shock at first, but you'll be glad you did ! Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Good luck, Laurie! My dad is more busy now that he is retired. I think it's just a different set of " things to do " . Though I hope, unlike my dad, you get a chance to travel a bit, or enjoy your free time a little. My dad hates travel, since the U.S. Navy gave him a " free ride " in W.W. II Take care, RH > > Laurie, for some reason I had no idea that you had actually picked > out a retirement date.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 RH Thanks!! Right now rest sounds the most interesting thing to do. I have lots of things I want to do, but don't know if travel will be one of them. Flying is such a pain with a wheelchair. I may change my mind after resting and getting my kitchen finished, but right now the idea of having nothing to do (except doctors appointments on Mon. and Tue.) sounds great. My day went fine and I got through all the good-byes. My son and daughter-in-law had asked to take me out to dinner at this absolutely wonderful restaurant. When I got there, and her daughter and one of my brothers and his wife were there. It was a wonderful surprise. Thanks for thinking of me. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2005 22:53:04 -0000 > To: > Subject: Re: retirement-NMR > > > Good luck, Laurie! My dad is more busy now that he is retired.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Bug Thanks! I decided at Thanksgiving that I couldn't make it through until the end of the school year. The decision was hard, but I am happy I made it and I even got through the good-byes without tears today. This means we can do lunch sometime. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2005 20:05:21 -0000 > To: > Subject: Re: retirement-NMR > > > Laurie, for some reason I had no idea that you had actually picked > out a retirement date.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I'm working in Ypsi now so we could most likely either meet for lunch or dinner when you are here in the Dearborn area for classes. venomvw wrote: >Looking forward to it ! > >bug > > > > > > >Medical advice, information, opinions, data and statements contained herein are not necessarily those of the list moderators.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I'd love to meet with you guys, but I think it would be best on a non-school day. The drive is killing me. I'm already exhausted by the time I get out of school, so I'd probably be falling asleep if I met you guys first. Just pick a day and I'll drive out to ya. bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Good Morning and Happy Retirement, Laurie. I deliberately did not respond yesterday. I knew it would be a difficult day for you with many ups and downs. It will take some time to sink in but you certainly did a great deal for so many children thru the years who needed your involvement in their lives. I am sure you will be missed by many and remembered by all. I'm glad you had such a nice send off. I suspect you'll still see some of those people you expect to miss from time to time. Now it's time to smell the roses and enjoy some special time for you. There are projects of course that can keep you busy but if you are able, travel and spending more time with family and friends is a prize you have earned. I'm sure there were a lot of tears yesterday. When you make this decision and the final day comes, it does not come without a lump in your throat. Today is a new day and the beginning of a new era in your life. Throw away the alarm clock. (Joking of course) You don't have to think of today and tomorrow as a rush day to get all the things done that you need completed before Monday. You can now shop on weekdays and it's so nice not to have to fight the weekend crowds at the grocery store. If you are like me, it will take time to adjust to this but it will happen. Congratulations, Laurie! Freedom at last! Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Dear Laurie, I know when I retired 11 years ago it was a time of mixed emotions. I hope you are able to take with you many cherished memories and hopefully you will be able to keep up with some of the people you are fond of, celia > Hi > > I just wanted to share that the special education teachers, a couple of > secretaries and a principal that has moved on had a get together for me for > my retirement.
