I am relieved that you decided to stay home so you can avoid that pain for both you and your daughters. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to make that decision, but you did the right thing. I can totally understand wanting to protect my child at any cost, even if that means isolating that child from another family member. It sucks, but its life, and you have to do what is right for you. Besides, we would miss you if you went away for a weekend! Now you can blog with the rest of us, and have some fun with your girls! Big Hugs!
