It wasn’t to happen for us either. But then my dad died in Greece last year, and I’m pretty sure that I could have saved him if I was there (he was living alone in the mountains and he was not seeing doctors regularly). So I said, that’s it, I still have a mother. We’re going. And (French) husband agreed.
I understand. The one and only one time in 50 years that we ever had any family visit us it was my grandmother and on like the 3rd day she was here, she fell and broke her leg. For the remaining 3 weeks she was mostly holed up in the house because she couldn’t move much. If you need to head back to take care of family, no one can argue with that.
My parents have been saying that for some 50 years now. Never happened.
