I wouldn't ask him to NYC. Not only b/c you're leaving tomorrow, but b/c you sounded like you're really looking forward to spending it with you kids. Enjoy yourself. Try to breathe.

Like imp, my question would be what do you want. I know how hard it can be to answer that esp in the middle of all this. I have a trick(?) I use. I sit in front of the mirror and have a convo with myself as if one of me wasdying and looking back on my life. May sound morbid (btw that me is OLD), but I find I am actually surprised at the wisdom I possess. I journal so I record this stuff too. Sometimes something hits me rather quickly, somethimes it comes to me later. It's just another way to get in touch with what's inside of you.

Hope you have a great trip.
