[quote=Anonymous]This is the universe telling you they are too old and fragile to travel. Unless you are trying to relocate them to you, it's not worth it. Plane travel is too hard. Take a video of the graduation and go visit. There are so many potential problems with this including them falling while visiting and having to stay in rehab with you indefinitely. Here's my story. My grandparents flew out for my wedding. They were elderly and fragile but nobody quite realized how far gone they were. One had a seizure/health crisis on the plane, and the airline rerouted the plane midflight to get them to a hospital. So then they were in a city they didn't know, and we didn't know, thousands of miles away, with one of them ill and the other unable to manage daily living.[/quote]
