I canceled my visit with my daughter this weekend.
It was a very tough decision.
My grandfather is in the hospital in critical care. Right now it's day to day. My sister is flying in tonight from across the country.
I had planned to go anyway because it's not like there is anything I can do about it just by staying home. Plus, my daughter is really focused on me these days and I don't know how she'll take it.
The thing is my daughter's birthmother obsession is part of why I don't want to go. I just don't think I could handle all her current questions and comments with my grandfather on my mind. On the other hand, it's quite possible that a fun day with my daughter would be just what I need.
For me the biggest thing was that I'd hate to be four hours away visiting with them and get a call that my grandfather didn't make it.
I just hope my daughter doesn't react badly.
Edit: My grandfather came home from the hospital on Tuesday, August 12! Yay!
