I find myself in a unique (for me) situation. I am in the Chattanooga area with the man I love in order to "be there for" him and his mom while his dad is in the hospital with all sorts of horrid health issues. Tomorrow is my Grove's Yule celebration and I am not wanting to leave here to be a part of it. Don't misunderstand me. I love Yule with the Grove, but... To me being here for Sean and his mom is FAR more important. Yes, the doctor told us to go ahead. Yes, Sean's mom's friends have been told of the situation and are available as backup "just in case", but....
Damnit I don't feel RIGHT heading back to a PARTY when Sean's dad is in such bad shape.
What makes it more difficult is that Sean, dear, sweet, responsible Sean, keeps trying to make sure that I don't miss my commitment (the aforementioned party/religious gathering [mostly it's a party, regardless WHAT it is INTENDED to be]). I am torn, dear friends. I enjoy the heck out of Yule with the Grove, but I actually feel HELPFUL for a change, being here with Sean and his mom. I have a VERY small part in the Yule ceremony itself, which could easily be taken over by darn near any of the other participants.
I'm not sure which way I'm trying to convince myself to go. Yes, I want to do Yule, but it feels MORE important to be here with Sean and his mom.
Suggestions welcome, hons.
