Sillygirl,
I can share your pain. One of the young kids I work with ( 5 yrs old) in respite has been in the hospital for the last week, after they found a tumor in his spine. I was very torn between wanting to be there for him and has family, and spending quality time studying for my finals. In the end, all you can really do is follow your heart. If you don't, you'll always have this feeling you didn't do everything you could or thought you should have done. Even though it's not your fault her family won't come down, the fact that you care enough to go out of your way to help her may mean so much more to this gentle lady who has touched your heart, because no one is dragging you to be there with her. She is in my prayers, as are you, for any strength you need. People like you are what make living worthwhile.
