Special Prayer Request: Washington State Trip

Please pray for me today as I go about cancelling our reservations for our trip to visit my family out in Washington State.  We were scheduled to fly out on the 25th and I just don't see that happening at this point (I know God is capable but I took the timing to be a strong message).  This is a hard trip for me to cancel.  Two of the things that were planned were, quite probably, the last opportunity to do them.

Please pray for my family out in Washington as well.  My parents are both having memory issues to some degree (so am I for that matter) and my father's health is deteriorating to the point where he is no longer able to maintain their 1/3 acre yard.  On this trip we were hoping to go to Idaho on a fishing trip to fish the rivers my dad fished when he was a kid.  Given his health this would be the last time that we could do it.  We were also hoping to get to the Museum of Flight with my dad while his memory was good enough to provide additional history (he worked for Boeing in the late '50s, '60s, and early '70s). 

Also pray for my brothers as they are assisting my parents in moving to a smaller home, possibly something with progressive care available.  As the oldest I should be leading this effort but from 2500 miles away it has fallen mainly to Mike and his family.

The closer we get to the 25th the harder it is on me.  I am sure it also bothers Peter but when I mentioned the possibility of cancelling our trip there was no hesitation on his part.  His faith and sense of duty are remarkable in one so young.  I am sure that he has learned his sense of duty from both of his parents and it is my conflicted sense of duty that is providing me with the most regret at cancelling our trip.  (Believe me, duty to Gretchen trumps the duty to my parents and the duty to Peter's future memories of my parents.)

this is a rush update and has not been proofed for errors, please forgive me...
