Connie's Story

I guess it's time I write my Bio for all my friends! Sorry for the delay! lol! Born in San Tome, Venezuela in 1954. 2 older Sisters (Sandy and Beverly) , 1 old Brother - Mike (deceased) and 1 younger brother - David. 3- 1/2 Sisters (Venezuelan) Sabrina, Alicia and Milagro (deceased at 4) and 1 - 1/2 brother - Raul. Moved to the US to Lakeland with my mothter (Father stayed in Venezuela) when I was 4. Third grade in Venezuela. Then went to Princeton Elementary, Robert E. Lee JunionrHigh (Hate calling it "Middle School"! Like a "Middle child" - which I was! High School at Edgewater High School. Best friends, Ann Mulcahy West, Sallie Royce Pins, Marsha Voska, Cathy Stockwell, Gail Kamn (X), and Becky Cobb (X). High School boyfriends Jay (Art) Wright and Tom Cooper. Grew up in an unhappy home with a wicked and abusive Step-father. I leaned heavily on happiness from my friends. And so grateful to them. I learned a lot about love from my boyfriends who impacted my life greatly since I was void of that love at home and suffered from abandonment issues with my father. (Thank God for Therapy to help me through that part of my life!) . Followed my highschool Sweetheart - Tom to college in NC. Met another Besty, Cathy Bergerson who helped me in so many ways! Married a guy from Afghanistan (What was I thinking!! lol!) Divorced a year and a half later. Back to Orlando in 1973. Worked for WDBO-TV, then Florida Software Services. Met another Besty - Susan Karns (A heart of gold) Met my husband, Ken Luna, married in 1977. We had four wonderful children - Justin, April, Drew and Gavin - our surprise caboose! What a God-send! Retired at 55, I am now a Disney Personal Shopper for a group of special people including some celebrities whom I helped put together Disney Silent Auction baskets and of course purchase Disney items...Expand for more
they are looking for. Disney is my "Happy Place" as the joy an excitement of those guests visiting the parks is infectious! To see a "Little" light up as they see the Cinderella Castle for the first time or to hear an adult say "Pinch me, am I really here at Disney?" or to see a marriage proposal in front of the castle! It doesn't get better than that! With ONE EXCEPTION - to share a Magical moment with any of my grandchildren! They are the light of my life! An now, as our "Caboose" Gavin prepares to move to California to be with his Fiance, I find it difficult to become an "empty nester". I am so very proud of him and wish him all the success and happiness he so richly deserves. Just as I am proud of my other Children, Justin, April and Drew. April has been our "Challenge child" wiith drug abuse issues and now estranged. I pray for her each and every day. I hope you will too! I also fill my life with the love of Volunteering. I am a RunDisney volunteer at the Marathon and half marathon races at Disney and also for other organization such as The Special Olympics, American Cancer Society and others. I am now 69 and facing the "Sunset" of my life. If my children and grandchildren are happy and well, then I know that my work here on earth is done. My wonderful Husband, Ken by my side (also facing health challenges), I am grateful for his unwavering love. Now facing some health challenges of my own, I feel my life is fulfilled and I can move on. If you have been a part of my life in any way, I want to thank you for being a part of my journey. For touching my life in any way positive. Which I'm sure you have. I'm sure we have traveled many lifetimes together and will meet again - if not in this lifetime, then on the otherside. God Bless you and your family! Thank you for being my friend! XOXO - Connie
