Life Gets Complicated

 We all know that life gets complicated at times. Actually it can often.  This is especially true with so many people having busy schedules. Getting together with someone can be exhausting to find the time.

You may know that I had planned go to British Columbia to see a couple of my cousins and their families in July. We didn’t make it because of wild fires. Now we are trying to reschedule. I figured late September or early October. We ended up settling on the last week of September. I told them my mother and I would leave on Sept. 25 and stay until the 5^th. This is was after they mentioned the 27^th. I wanted a couple of extra days however my mother gets a call while I am out that a friend of hers is coming for a visit from Holland and they want to have lunch on the 27^th.  I replied that I told you we were leaving on the 25^th. She really wants to see this friend. I said OK I will have to email my cousins to let them know and we will leave right after the lunch.  So it will be a long day for sure.

My mother will be 97 years old in September so it likely will be the last time she sees her. This means to that we will have the same amount of days as originally planned but two days less than what I rescheduled. This could be the last time she sees her nieces as well but this is what she wants.

I am sure everyone has complications happen that becomes worse than this. What may make things worse now would be if the wild fires come again or mother’s health goes bad. In either case we would have to reschedule for next spring at the earliest.

Even with complications life must go on and we have to figure ways to cope. I hope that you are having a good weekend and complications are at the lowest.
