What to do, what to do...

J called this morning and asked me to look into return flights to France for me and S. I know it is important to do the "smart" thing, but on the other hand, how can anyone know how this is going to turn out?  We may end up running for no reason.

It is hard to be fearful of our safety when life around us is, on the surface, ie in our neighborhood and in our interactions with people, going on as normal. :-<

The history in the area, and in Egypt itself, indicates that it's not for no reason. I understanding not wanting to be too much of a Nervous Nellie, but I don't think anyone could accuse you of that. I only wish J himself were booking a ticket as well.

I feel conflicted saying this because I feel very bad for all the ordinary people who are stuck living through this because it's their home and they *can't* go anywhere else. But however hard this development is for them, and however sorry I feel, it doesn't interfere with my wanting to see you guys, who do have an option, safe.

(That said, whatever decision you make, I'm behind you all the way.)

I've worried about you and your family as I've watched what's transpiring there.

Please be safe. All of you. ::HUGS::

Please don't worry about running for "no" reason. There are far worse possibilities. Just do whatever you and J feel is best.

::hugs you very tight:: be as safe as you can be no matter where you plant your feet and stand.

You probably don't need to hear the age old axiom, "better safe than sorry"...

I hope that it all turns out for the best.

Peace of mind isn't "no reason." And in this case, perhaps avoiding the worst possible scenario is worth the inconvenience of taking the flight and feeling silly if nothing happens. In any case, be safe & keep your loved ones close. We'll be thinking of you.

You listen to your husband and your pea - and get out of there.

But I've been saying this all day. ;)

Take S and go. I watch the reports on the news, films of the fighting and reports of how many have died--and all I think of is you and especially your little one. Things might be normal in your neighborhood today and tomorrow erupt into chaos and shooting.

Going back isn't a measure of cowardice or any such nonsense. It's taking care of you and your daughter. If and when things settle, you can go back.

Be safe. Keep S safe. And as Francesca said, I wish J was leaving too.
