Hello Cheryl - yes, my parents will be upset. That is why I haven&#39;t told them yet.  I want to have everything in place  for them to be taken care of while we are gone...neighbors, friends, and a nurse on call to take care of them...etc. before I tell them anything.<br /><br />I will probably wait until Christmas to tell them, maybe before.  The longer I can put it off the less time they have to stress over it and try to guilt-trip me out of going.<br /><br />I am sorry to hear Scotty is having a tough time.  Just love the little guy and be there for him  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> &#33;
