((((Ali))))
please try not to beat yourself up over it, hon. Sometimes these things come up, and as bad as the timing is, this interview could be a very good thing. I agree. The ultimate good might out-weigh the good feeling T may have from having his mother present at a function that may not be remembered and might not be all that important in the great scheme of things. Talking to T and presenting the situation may be more enlightening and beneficial to T and therefore be a life lesson that may be of even more importance. IMHO, of course. |

Thanks guys. I know it's not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, I just hate feeling like I'm letting him down, and like I'm one of those parents that puts their careers ahead of their kids. This is such a huge opportunity though, I know I have to just suck it up.

I think you need a sense of perspective here. You are obviously a loving and devoted mother. He's one lucky boy. I don't think dropping out of one minor event will leave him with plagued with feelings of rejection throughout his adult life. |

Your awesomeness is real." “I was thinking that perhaps this thing called God does not exist. Because He cannot save any one of us. No matter how we pray, He doesn’t mend our wounds. No matter how we plead, He doesn’t strike down our enemies. There hasn’t been an instance where He has cured our sick. Powerless, we can only wait to be tossed onto the dirt of a foreign land. He doesn’t have a thread of spiritual existence. If only there were a shadow, a whisper. But I haven’t felt Him once.” — 稲荷家房之介 - Giglio  |

It's raining, The Asmo is dying from a kidney stone* and... General sourness. Yes, that's what's on me mind today.
*For those less medically literate, no, not really dying. For those more medically literate, no, no ultrasound - will pass on its own, apparently.
