Let me put it this way. I have three children, one of whom died two years ago. The fondest memories my other two children and I have of him are from family trips, where, yes, we pulled them out of school at various ages (last one about 2 years before my son died).
Life is short. God, then family, then everything else. Go.
When you lose a child, you NEVER say "I wish he'd spent more time at school..."![]()
OMG...I am SO sorry for your loss. A tragedy like that really puts things in perspective and you are 100% right in your statements. I know it probably doesn't mean much from someone you don't know, but you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Having suffered recent issues myself (nothing like the loss of a child) I have also come to the belief that there are things that are REALLY important and then there's all that other stuff that we sometimes let get in the way of what is really important. Live for now and enjoy every moment you possibly can with those you love. That's why those family vacations were always SO special for my family...those memories are something you keep with you always.
