I’m amazed at how things turn out sometimes. This morning I wrote about a future trip to MO. I had seriously planned to go towards the end of next week and stay about 10 days. After reading all your comments, I was smiling thinking . . I knew they would agree with me! This is the longest I’ve gone without seeing Addie but the delays have all been things that we all understood.
An hour or so ago, Cilla wrote in a comment: Never know what will happen tomorrow so live for today.
She is so right!
I believe 100% that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes I don’t know the reason. Most of the time, I never think about a reason for things that happen or don’t happen but . . a phone call can change everything and I know what I’m doing is right.
I will not share the details but I got a phone call that changed my plans and I’m not going to MO. Probably the soonest I can go is June. I’m sorry to be vague but it’s events in someone else’s life that changed my plans and I’m not comfortable sharing someone else’s story. It isn’t Chad or Nicole or Vince . . but I did call Chad and talked to him, then I called Nicole and talked to her and they agree that coming now isn’t good. I’ll end up meeting up with them somewhere else in a month or so for a few days.
Nicole told Addie that I wasn’t coming . . that they would meet me somewhere else in a little over a month. Addie said “No! I want to meet her at our house. Call her and tell her . . our house!” She’s a funny girl.
Honestly, I just keep thinking I shouldn’t go next week. I had no reason that I knew of to feel like the timing wasn’t right. Maybe it’s because Nicole is now working and I’d be at their house alone all day; maybe it’s going back to Nevada . . I kept trying to think why I wasn’t having a peace about going. Now I know.

So sorry to hear this. I hope it isn’t your parents either! Hope things work out ok.
Dottie says
Sounds like this is one of those things where you just trust your intuition…..sorry you won’t be getting to see them next week, though.

I’m so sorry it’s going to be even longer until you see your “pretty little Cajun queen” again! Sometimes the timing just isn’t right.
Joyce says
I hope everything works out with your unexpected issue, so you get to see your family the soonest possible!

When the spirit speaks, it’s always best to listen. I’m sorry it isn’t going to work out, but you will see her, just a little later.
Diana G says
Trust your instincts.. There will be time to see her and with the other “condition” coming up; its best you do what is right and feels right !
Cilla says
So sorry you aren’t able to go. We never do know what tomorrow will or will not bring. Trust your gut. Prayers for whatever is happening. HUGS!

I was thinking, if you’re going to be in Nevada and have free time, maybe we could meet up and do some knitting or chatting. Then I remembered — I don’t live near Nevada now. I’m in the city over an hour and a half away. Granddaughters are special so when you do get to go it will be a grand time.
Paula says
God works in ways we don’t always understand. Glad you listened. Hope the issue turns out well.
Carole S says
Isn’t it funny how that works? That sort of thing has happened to me many times. It took me ages to learn to trust my instincts, but it pays off every time. Hope things work out well with whatever the issue is.
