Hello DIS Board Friends,
I have not been on the boards since the time frame of the Virus on the ships. With no cruises planned, a few under my belt, and a great knowledge about
DCL, I am not as obsessed as in the past with going to the web site. But, imagine my surprise when I logged on this morning and read the article about Shirley and Norm in the Cape Canaveral Magazine.
You see, I am the "distraught" woman who called Shirley on that early May morning. Shirley's warm and comforting voice made me feel instantly better and I knew that everything would be okay. It was amazing how Shirley "took total control" over what could have been a nightmare for a traveling family with no contacts in the area. I will never forget her kindness to someone she had NEVER met... only spoken to on the telephone! We are forever friends!!!! I feel like I've known Shirley all of my life!! What a blessing and an inspiration she has been to me.
After we returned from the cruise, I wrote a letter to the editor of the Port Canaveral newspaper praising Shirley as one of their "finest" citizens and explaining what she had done for us. The article was never published, but perhaps this is how the information of Shirley and Norm's good deeds were spread around town.
Shirley and Norm are very gracious, caring, loving and giving individuals who are a rare gift in our world! They make a difference in many lives in many different ways. I have been touched by their kindness and love. You never know what they may do next. Shirley and Norm are "THE PERFECT GIFT to humanity! Okay, now I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. I better stop or I'll be in tears at my computer!!
Have a DIS day all... and stay warm... it's so cold in so many places!!
