O.K., the Libra in me says (f) none of the above. Your plans sound like the most feasible answer considering what you know and feel, as you stand here, today.

Seems like waiting until the last minute to cancel your trip is a good option since you aren't getting a refund anyway. Take each day as it comes. Talk to your dad about it. Pray. Meditate. Breathe.<BR/><BR/>Course you asked for advice from unemotional people...

You have to live your life, but cancelling this trip doesn't mean that you aren't doing that or that you are letting the cancer win. I honestly think that for me, either choice would feel like the wrong one because all around it's a horrible situation. You can't possibly know what is going EmmaLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976963296705941968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307850158631350812.post-57561543977156086662008-05-30T14:17:00.000-04:002008-05-30T14:17:00.000-04:00Okay first the scientists, they are wrong all the ...Okay first the scientists, they are wrong all the time.
