Bright, Mlcers don't think too well and if he has a fear of flying, I can understand the movement of the camper... at least from his mlc perspective.
It's interesting that he wants to send out cards, but that's okay. I also find it interesting about your son and his gf. I'm glad that he wants to get them something and maybe he'll mail it to your address or hold it until he comes by at the end of the month.
I don't think he still knows what he wants to do and you know what? I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. I'd enjoy the holidays and, if and when it comes up, that's when I would be concerned. For now...put your "assumptions" on the back burner and just enjoy the time w/your family and friends.
Bright, no one has said that you need to be cheerful and happy all of the time. It's okay to be yourself and you know what, sometimes it's good for them to hear how we truly feel. So, don't feel bad about it...we are all human w/feelings. I have a lot of faith in you and you'll be just fine when he comes at the end of the month. He's just a man who is very lost. Try to think of him as a long lost neighbor who has returned from Mars.
BTW, how is your father doing? Did your mother get home safely?
You are going to be fine...put the crystal ball away for a while. It's not working anyway because the batteries are dead.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
