I was planning on going to TAM 5.5. I had my ticket and everything. Now I have a friend who had some major personal emergency happen (which I'd rather not get into) And unfortunately this person has no friends or family other than myself which are able to provide necessary help in this situation.
(Sorry if I'm being vague)
I was supposed to leave tomorrow but I just called the airline and I got a refund (except for a late cancel charge). I can still buy another ticket and come down on saturday morning instead. I'd have to buy the ticket last minute, but right now I'm not sure what to do :-(
My plan is to not say anything and just assume that I won't be going because I don't want this person to feel bad and try to hurry and allow me to leave Saturday by being hastey. In other words I don't want it hanging over things like "If you can get by without me tomorrow I have a ticket already and I really want to go"
I'm gona go by the plan of not going unless things should happen to work out unusually well.
I'm so upset now. I've been looking forward to this for so long! I'm gona hear about all the fun now and feel crappy about it!
Long and short of it: A friend has had a recent bad relapse of something which this person has delt with in the past and is now being treated for some things. This person has nobody in the area who is a good friend and the only family in the area is said person's mother (who is old and not necessarily capable of what is needed). This person now, due to recent events, is in need of someone to take care of some affairs ranging from commitments to employment to making arrangements for this person's current situation to taking care of this person's dog.
So although this person will probably be okay in the long run it's kinda fallen on me to take care of things. I pretty much volunteered to take on everything because of the fact that it would make things a lot worse in terms of stress and complications if I did not.
That's entirely besides the fact though..
