Hi Bobbie, You are right, those of us on the Q-List are the ONLY ones that can understand why you are upset. There are more layers to Pete's feelings, than there is in an onion. Pete probably doesn't understand them all, but it's not just 200 miles, the care-giving, or the money. It has to be worked out by Pete until he sees that the fear he feels now, can be put behind him, and the two of you can have a wonderful weekend together. Give him the time, and your sweet Pete will make the right choice...for both of you. Stay strong.

I realize how very lucky I am living in an apartment for the past 26 years and have a van that I can drive since 1980 and most of all my sweet Pete who is not only the love of my life, my best friend but also my full-time home health aid. Which brings me to why I'm upset? My youngest sister, DeeDee, lives in Saratoga, NY and she found a Bed & Breakfast that is accessible and has a hospital bed in it and it's only 200 miles away. But Pete thinks 200 miles is to far to drive plus he would have to unload the van and then take care of me. I think 200 miles is not far at all especially if we share the driving and he will need to take care of me wherever we are. So, he has made up his mind, were not going. We have not been on any vacation since 1995! Pete is also concerned that he will not get reinstated as my full-time HHA, 42 hrs a week. Although I can understand his concern me as the client can request anybody and denie anybody. Bobbie Remember Mom this Mother's Day! Find a florist near you now.
