You'll probably know better when January rolls around, Kabu.  I hadn't read before that you were planning or contemplating this trip.  Think of yourself as well, selfless one....  it's a long arduous trip.

Kabuiepie-;)

Go baby go, you're not changing your mind now. We knew this from the outset, that I'd be marrying an Aussie gypsy, and you have to go do your thing,  family over there is important. I shall be fine. We just never planned on me having a heart attack and prostate operations. Now that is all over and I'm as fine as anybody, finer than most my age.Besides all of the above I hate hot weather and can't fly anyway.So what if my memory isn't as sharp as it used to be.So what if my memory isn't as sharp as it used to be.

Under your special set of circumstances, I'm not sure what I would do.  Whatever you choose to do, I hope that every tiny detail for everyone concerned turns out beautifully and happily.

Dear Kabu

You will end up doing what you have to do, I know about living far away...

Keep an eye on everything...

Either way, you may regret your choice, thats just the great unkown of life.  When my kids are driving up here, I always worry about car accidents.  The oldest boy was in an accident and his beloved Mitsubishi Eclipse was totalled.  He and his girlfriend were barely bumped and now he has an even more beloved Mustang.  One just has to go with the flow sometimes.

I know what you mean about the price of tickets even going from here to home they keep changing, and if I would had the money back when they were lower price I would be going this week, but I was too late.  Go and have fun

I have no idea what I would do if it were my decision to make. What about Wiley making this one with you?

I'd send the BL...she has a thing for your brother in law

For lack of other solutions, all I can think of is: Take Wiley with you.

Grandmummy,

Here's a thought...Is there any possible way your sister could come to visit you and Poppy for a spell instead of you leaving him?

If not, perhaps you could postpone the trip for a bit.  Until spring when you feel more comfortable going back for a little while?

I would say to you this, do what you feel is best for you.  Love you.

Kabu, that is indeed a tough decision to make....

Hold off deciding as long as you can, and then just listen to your heart.....

It's tough but we will be here for Wiley while you are gone! The folks back home need to see you too! sam

I say that you have time to see how Wiley is doing.

Well Wiley has been steeling himself up for it I wondered when he mentioned it once or twice of course he does not want you to go, but he does not want you to be a caged bird obviously. This is a price one has to pay for setting the bird free. Wiley has the key to the cage.

There's a saying that might apply:

 

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Look upon this short divide as the prelude to another honeymoon...
