Ild actually be among those who would have chastised him for not going to see her in her final days. I didnt get to visit with my grandparents often, Im glad he took the trip.

Hindsight is always 20/20 I am sure they understood. I was haunted by stupid things after my mother died, we should never take our loved ones for granted but we all get caught up with the day to day survival.

I have to agree with that.

I wasn't able to be there for my mom and family when my uncle died unexpectedly. My hubby kept saying that we could buy a plane ticket so I could go home but bringing Hannah really complicated things and we really couldn't afford it at the time as we were JUST about to move into our new house. It just couldn't happen. I really wish I could be there and I have dreams about it.

but I was sure to send cards, flowers and give phone calls and emails to everyone. My dad also went to the wake to give his and my condolences and my mother and father were adament that I really wanted to be there. I am glad everyone understood why I could not be present

I dread the day my grandparents on my fathers side go
