We were watching tv, the NOLA tourist ad came on and we were like, we need to go there.

I turned into a complete [expletive] and said, no, we won't go there because your parents will die within the next 2 years and we will need to spend all our vacation money on that.

It was like he didn't know that.I am a jerk.

You can make it up by buying tix to New Orleans. You won't regret it.

i dont understand

Why did you do that?

When I read the subject line, I thought you might be being a little dramatic. But yep, that's pretty harsh.

Nothing that a sincere apology, and maybe tix like heyzeus said, can't fix.

Anyway, go before they die.

/too soon to be too soon?

You could always go and then catch their funeral(s) on the way back to really stretch your dollars.

Money worries are never fun. They lead to stress, and then to words you wish you hadn't said. (I'm speaking about myself and my own regrets here.)

At the same time, if you can, take some kind of trip that you can afford--maybe not New Orleans, but some place nice where you can budget it out in advance so you won't feel stressed about it. You'll remember the trip for years and years.

I'm sending my son to China for two weeks, beginning on Wednesday. Financially, it's not the best time to do so, and we're scrimping, but he really needs to get out and see the world. Whatever happens, he'll remember that trip.

Good luck with everything, doc.

Branson doc. Do it!

When one of his parents die instead of going to the funeral you should go to NOLA. Then you'd really be a [expletive].
