Well, just like that W's plans have changed. She called me and laid out 4 reasons why she is not going to go to Mexico in the morning. Her number one reason was our kids - they have never experienced a close family member's death, and so I am happy she is going to be here in helping our kids deal with the death of their grandmother.
I have never heard my W so articulately lay out a reason why she was doing something. She clearly put some thought into it. I complemented her on her clear reasoning on why she should stay at home rather than fly to Mexico.
W told me she "really" appreciated my willingness to help her and the kids. I am proud of myself for not trying to make her stay at home, or being controlling, or being selfish, or arguing with her. Now we can all focus our thoughts and prayers on W's mom, who is in a lot of pain right now.
