Hey Everyone! Back from my run! ouch, that one hurt! as you know i was running for cure cancer Australia, and to fund young researchers who otherwise couldnt get a grant etc. I had a few people i did my run for...and 2mums i added your aunt! (hope that was ok) it just said 2mums aunt!
I have some experience with saying goodbye to loved ones. (not a lot thank goodness but some). The last time i saw my grandfather he was pretty sick, but not yet at the end. we had a really nice goodbye. A little while later when he was at the end i had the choice to go and see him or not. I decided not, we had a nice goodbye and i wanted that to be my final memory! He had a good death, with his wife next to him telling him it was ok to go...and actually his eyes that were once sparkling blue had in his last years turned brown with meds and such. and on that last day they went back to bright blue...which felt nice.
its a hard decision, you dont want to regret not going, but you dont want to risk going either. Its not just the flight stress, but seeing a loved one at that point is heartbreaking.
I will pray that she hangs on for you, people do all the time. Mostly its important for you to have a good goodbye (in person, over the phone, with a letter, whatever is the best), and that if she isnt going to be able to get better, that she has a good death (i hope that doesnt sound too morbid, i mean it in a loving way)
xoxo
