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.

I dread the day my grandparents on my fathers side go
