I changed my mind

November 19, 2023 05:06PM
and bought a plane ticket to attend the funeral in Oklahoma. I was able to get a non-stop flight on Southwest which will get me there in 1 hr 40 min. If I don't go, I think I'll regret it. My family rarely sees one another as it is. I've seen them once in 10 years. We're all getting older so this is an opportunity to see them and share some time together until we have to do this again. I set up a special savings account at my bank several years ago specifically for me to attend family funerals so I'm really ok financially doing this. My daughter will be going with me so it shouldn't be so bad.
