I'd sound sad too to let you know that you're important and will be missed but that doesn't mean that I'd go back on being ok with you doing the logical thing.

Really, you don't want the opposite of sounding sad. It's a compliment. Reply with you feel the same and that you'll be thinking of them and about how grateful you are for her understanding especially at this time.

Send her and your dad eight cards from the dollar store. Write something touching in each, maybe a memory. The eighth one is for good luck wishing them another 10 years. Send one of those chocolate covered fruit bouquets. Tell them that you'll be look up at the night sky on their anniversary and will be thinking about their amazement journey over 70 years and how proud you are of them.

If your mom is actually guilting you, tell her - "Seriously mom, I need this rest". And don't give details. "Everything will be fine if I'm quiet for a little while".

By the way, my husband, puppy and I drove down to Florida for their 70th wedding anniversary and surprised them! We found a way! Now there’s another problem-I have been here for 7 weeks just to wipe her rear since she became ill and she doesn’t want me to leave! Now tell me what to do!?

Kudos to you for making it happen! I'm sure your parents were happy. Wow, sorry to hear that mom has been ill. The determination you used to get there is what you need to leave. Is she bed bound or just not willing to do it herself?

Illness, age, distance and circumstances can make travel impossible at times. A phone call will have to subsitute.
