This is a really hard week for me. My long time boyfriend's mom has been really ill and in and out of the hospital often over the past two months, being on a ventilator for three weeks. She finally passed away (only 50 years old) on Sunday evening, which really is a blessing because she would have been ventilator dependent for the rest of her life. We are in the process of making all the arrangements and are having the services at the end of the week.
My parents and I had been planning a trip to WDW for the Christmas season and we were supposed to leave for a week long trip on Sunday. Obviously, I am unable to go even though my DBF keeps insisting I go. I would never leave him during this time. He is an only child and will have a hard enough time as it is.
I just made all the phone calls to cancel our trip and am so upset about it, along with everything else that is going on. It's not something that could be rescheduled, because we were lucky enough to get the military discount on the resort and tickets. We thought about making a shorter trip later in the month, but my dad can't go on a plane, and it doesn't make sense to spend two days driving there and two days back for three days there. I would do it, but my dad said no, we'd just go next year, maybe.
I don't know, I guess canceling a vacation is really trivial in the whole scheme of things, I'm just super bummed about it and have been sitting here crying to myself all night. I am really close to my parents and was really looking forward to being able to escape to Disney with them--especially because his mom's death really hits home and makes me think about my own parent's mortality. Just treasure every moment.
Thanks for listening--I just needed to get it off my chest.
