When it rains it pours
so last night i finally figure out all the babysitting details, i decide the snow will allow us to depart and i begin to pack. at 6pm my dad calls to say that he is at VGH with my grandpa. grandpa was found in the snow by a passerby. prognosis: heart failure, cracked ribs from resesitation, hypothermia, pnuemonia, should i go on?
how can i possibly leave when he is so ill. even if i go i wont be able to enjoy myself. this after last week my bf's grandpa died. this after all this awful snow. this after the student loan ppl have put out a hit on me. i just wanted to turn 30 in style. i should have known better. my life doesnt work like that. i dont know what i am going to do.

I'm sorry to hear your grand-dad's ill.
As to the Vegas question: Sit yourself down and imagine the conversation with your grand-dad.
What, in your heart, do you know he would advise you to do?
My wife, who's been through a similar experience, says you need to balance your unhappiness at not going against how you'll feel if you miss something important.
Essentially, it boils down to two questions: is he conscious? If he's not, he won't notice if you're absent for a day or two.
And the biggie:
Do you have any unfinished business? If the next thing you had to say was "goodbye", would that be enough?
I don't know your grandad, but I suspect he might want you to have a little happiness in Vegas.
My free advice, and worth exactly what you paid for it. I hope things work out okay.
