Yeah I wanted to roll early with you guys, but it's still up in the air whether or not I leave for Houston tomorrow for a funeral. right now $1500 for the round trip for me and wifey, i'd rather send that $1500 to the kid's college fund.

it's alright man. money spent on or for family is not a waste. money comes back, family once gone is gone.

btw, what's the best vietnamese cafe on westminster?

yeah that's why i think the $1500 going to the kid's(of the guy who passed away) college fund would be more appreciated by the family. I know his dad (my wife's cousin) would prefer that also. So in lieu of flying out there, I'm going to just send the money we would've spent on the trip to his account.

unfortunately in a situation like this that money wont be as much appreciated as going there and tapping on the kids shoulder just to make them feel they still have family.
sometimes emotions > practicality or common sense

Yeah, that was my thought too...and I was pretty adamant about going.
But now that we found out about my wife's pregnancy, although early term, I would like to avoid flying and stressing her out as well. she's currently studying for series 7 license and that's enough stress as it is. So i weighed the options, and felt this was going to be best for all parties involved. I know it may sound a little selfish to some, but trying to do what's right I guess.
