Cass, when my mom was going through her shit, I learned that airline "bereavement" fares are also for people with serious health issues. It can mean some time on the phone, and they'll want like hospital room numbers. But it can mean a whole lot of flexibility in changing flights and stuff without it costing you a mint.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That is really good to know. Thank you.
My mom picked up the charges and it won't pain her to do so, so I'm okay with the fees already paid. But it's nice to know there are options. Especially because I am scared to book return flights when I fly out there again soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My TV just landed on a show called "Rookie Blue," and apparently it's the third season premiere?? I have never heard of this.

A summer show. I've caught a fair bit of it.

I just think it's weird that I haven't even come across it!

Cass,
FYI, I don't know if it is still true, but some years back, the bereavement fares were barely worth it unless you need flexible dates upon your return. You can just about do better just getting something through priceline or kayak than try bereavement if you have fixed dates coming and going.

The actor who plays Diaz looks just like the last guy I dated, so I find myself compelled to watch.
