Regrets...

Passing up a life experience you know you're going to regret.
My mom, dad, grandpa, and grandma put in place a hunting trip to Africa. They've had this trip on the back burner for a few years now and were finally ready to throw this trip into high gear.
Then... The coronavirus hit.
My mom and dad are still going, but the gparents will be playing it safe by sitting this trip out.
I get it. It's 100% understandable.
This past weekend I received a call from my dad explaining that my gparents are going to sign over the plane tickets, hotel rooms, hunting vouchers, and everything in between to my wife and I.
Unfortunately we had to pass because of a few things.
The main reason is we have full custody of her sisters 2 girls because the sister is doing time and won't be eligible for parole until 2038.
We had to fight and it costed us quite a bit of money, but they are ours. 4 and 9.
Flying over the ocean to a 3rd world country is too big of a risk right now. I'm sure we will regret this decision later down the road, however, we both feel it's the right move.

Sounds like a pretty crappy situation, man...But, there's always the future, and you might do it still.
Where in Africa are they going to go hunt?

It's ok spirit. You're doing well. Crying is cathartic and the normal grieving process is 1-2 years.
OP: unavoidable situation, better to be safe than sorry. See if you can switch the tickets to another trip later on.

I'm pretty sure another lucky soul will be blessed with such an opportunity.
It is what it is and like you said, better safe than sorry.

@Aminita
Her and her husband were selling cocaine and had their house raided. The two kids were thrown into the system so my wife's and my family came together and fought tooth and nail to get them back. It was such a long road. But, a road with some light at the end.
