I will plan a trip for me and the kids to go to Chicago this summer and visit our friend on our own. That way the kids get to go and see her too, and let her know, in their own way, just how much they loved "Uncle XXX" too.
I don't feel that I am making the right decision, I feel that it is the best right decision out of two bad ones.
I hate all of this. Really.
Love, Shades
Shades,
I'm sorry that you are having to go through all of this. And I'm even sorrier if I made a hard decision harder. That was not my intent! It was my own regrets motivating me, and not wanting that for you. But your sitch is different. It IS a Catch-22 "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.
Taking your kids to visit this summer sounds like a great idea for all of you to be able to celebrate the memory of this special friend.
{{{hugs for Shades}}}
