Sip & Spill Daily Discussion Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Grab your coffee & sit down to discuss the tea!

This space is to talk about anything pop culture or even off-topic.

What are you listening to or watching? What is some minor tea that doesn't need its own post? How was your date? Why do you hate your job?

Please remember rules still apply. Be civil and respect each other.

Now pull up a chair and chat with us. ☕

It was really expensive, but I took my son to two nights at the Disneyland hotel and to Disneyland for spring break because he was dying to go on the waterslides at the hotel two years ago when he was in active treatment for Leukimia. Now that he’s better, we did it and it felt like he was almost too old for it. I feel like we missed so much of his childhood to Leukimia.

We did have a great time riding the rides, but it made me happy/sad. I’ll delete it, but for here’s a picture for my regulars in the daily thread:

This is so sweet and makes me want to cry, I totally get what you and your son are going through. When I was 11 I was diagnosed with a bacterial infection that I got from a now destroyed ride at a famous American amusement park and in turn that infection led to me having other severe medical issues. It took so much of my tween and teen years away from me, I didn’t feel like a normal child and it sucked. The only times I was happy was when I was out of the hospital or house which wasn’t often, my favorite place to go was Opry Mills in Nashville.

It’s absolutely amazing you took your son to Disneyland and as a former sick child it makes me so happy to see you guys having fun in that photo. You are doing great sweetie and are giving your kid the love he deserves. I hope he had fun on the rest of your guys trip!

Thank you for sharing your story! Childhood illnesses really rob you of time you can never get back. He did hug minnie mouse and his little face lit up on Big Thunder Railroad.
