I elected not to go visit because my 2 brothers and nurse sister-in-law were there and well a broken leg just needs to heal right. Money was also tight but when is it not? I found out later that my mom really missed me and wanted me to be there but was too proud to ask. I felt so immature for not prioritizing her and it's helped me make quicker decisions later in family crisis. Just wrote this to say I understand and hope things go well with your mom this week.R.
