but I'm still not 100% sure. I really would like to, though

I think that Sho's mum is a deeply intelligent and caring woman, whose advise should not be taken lightly.

Sho, why're you not sure?

I do too!

sorry, Pastey, I didn't answer your question. I'm not sure (still I'm at 99% sure which is as good as it gets with me) if i'll come because I'm in UK because my dad suddenly died at the weekend and I'm supposed to be here to support my mum. His funeral is on the friday, then the meet on the Saturday, but she thinks it's a good idea to go.

And I think she'll be sick of me and my attempts to make coffee by then.

Oh, dear, I'm so sorry about your father.

Thats' quite a different situation than I imagined... but still, if your mum feels you could enjoy the meet, I'm sure we all will do our best to ensure that.

This can be a bit of relief for you. And mum

I can understand either decision, actually, but it would be nice if you come.

Sho, please accept my condolences. I don't really know you, and I really don't know your dad. But what I do know is that as a community on here, and in real life, we try to look out for each other and provide a bit of our own brand of normality in an otherwise sane world.

If you come along, and I hope you do, you'll be among friends who'll be able to give you a break from everyday life for a few hours.
