Moral Question

[LeesyUD]

I am in a similar situation with my aunt...about two years ago she found out she had colon cancer....and was told at the very most she would live up to five years....however her cancer has spread and surgery is not at option...we went to Disney in October last year and are going this October....one minute she is in the hospital but just this July she went on a vacation to Disney herself w/ her family...Though we are pretty sure she may not have much longer, we just never know and the only thing we can do is live our lives as normal and give her as much support as we can...I do feel bad bc she wanted us to go with her in July but being short on money and vacation time for work it just wasn't possible I know each situation is different, but it is very hard to put life on hold beforehand bc when it actually does get much closer to "that time" and after, I am sure your life is going to be on hold for a while. I think when it is time to put things on hold, you will know without a doubt. And I do really believe that if you have always been there for that friend/family member in the past...then no matter where you are physically...they will know you are still there for them.

Like others have said, it's your decision to make albeit a very difficult one. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

DS's first trip was in 1999 and a gift for his birthday. One day before his birthday, my mom was rushed to the local hospital...BP of 220/120...the day after his birthday they airlifted her to St. Louis because she was hemmoraging from the brain. When I made it there, 2 hours later, we found out it was cancer. Our trip was in 2 weeks. After the docs talked to us, the first thing Mom said to me was, "Do not let this stop you from going to WDW...don't let my grandson NOT get to have fun!" Fortunately, the surgery was a success, we went on our trip and had a wonderful time. When we came back, my mom enjoyed hearing over and over about how much fun DS had and looking at the photos. She treasured Goofy's autograph DS had gotten just for her. We lost my mom on Sept. 5 that year but I always hear her voice when I plan a trip to WDW..."GO! Have fun!"
