To say the least it was not high on my list of favorable ways to spend a friday evening. I did indeed think of not going at all but realized that I would be depriving my children the chance to say good bye to an aunt as I was their mode of transportation. After discussing the event with some friends, one commented and congratulated me on taking the high road (her words exactly). I must say it felt good to know that I had done the right thing no matter how difficult it felt in the moment. Thank you, Donna, for reminding us to rise above that which seems so unthinkable or undoable because in the end we all need to maintain our dignity and self-respect.
