D has decided to fly home and back for Christmas. She cancelled coming home at Thanksgiving and then regretted it. My mother had originally said she wasn’t going to join us because my college student son was going to be there and he wouldn’t have test results yet, but then she changed her mind and did come which I think made my D miss it even more.
The thing that really surprised my, though I guess it shouldn’t have, is that there is now only one direct flight a day between her city and us. There used to be five. She made her reservation yesterday and said there were only two seats left on the plane when she booked it.
