I'm having a very selfish sad moment
DH's best friend's FI, who has become a close friend of mine, was supposed to have her bachelorette party this weekend. We were going to spend a weekend at a lake house in VA. Unfortunately, DH's best friend's grandfather is very ill. They have gone up to PA to be with him.
It's looking like her party is going to be cancelled and her FSIL is working on changing plans and throwing her a B-party in NYC the weekend of July 9-10. I am so sad that I'm not going to be able to go to her party now. We are leaving the country on June 26, so we'll be gone. I wouldn't be as disappointed if it weren't for the fact that we are also missing their wedding at the end of July. They are such close friends that when DH got his offer from State we honestly debated declining, putting our career plans on temporary hold, and waiting for an invite to the next class so that we could be here for their wedding.
I know it's very selfish to even think this b/c, for heaven's sake, the groom's grandfather is possibly on his death bed. But I can't help but feel some tiny pangs of sadness and a bit of forboding about all of the important events I am going to miss in the lives of the people that I love with this whole lifestyle we're pursuing.
Re: I'm having a very selfish sad moment
Absolutely. That's a great idea. I'm so sad for them that they are going through this. Her FI comes from a very stoic family and the lack of communication about his grandfather's condition has been particularly hard on them.
