Hi guys,
I'm just on my way to church but I have a tough decision to make over the next few days and was wondering if anyone one else has made the same one. I am sure some have or considered it. My brother lives in Calgary and progressing continuously. He told his wife a few days ago that he doesn't know how much longer he can hold on. It's difficult to hear but we are supporting him as best we can. But the problem is that no one else from our family lives in Calgary. I am the closest to him, relationship wise, and I live in Ottawa; see him a few times over the last year but I know he and his wife need help.
I feel like I should move out there to be with him, to spend whatever time I have left with him. To do this, I'd have to sell my house, which I love, but it's just a house. I can always get a new house and a new job - things are just things and family, is family!
Is this the right decision? I feel caught between a life I love here and a brother I love more than anything. well he said it would mean the world to him to have me out there (they didn't ask, I asked them what they thought). I hate the thought of moving but if I don't is it something I'll regret? I know no one can really answer these questions except me, but I sure could use some advice from people who are living the same things. It would be a fast move, as soon as I could sell my house...
any thoughts?
