[quote=Anonymous]I would go solo. Stay at a hotel, even if there is a longer commute. You can go and visit your Father, talk to him, let him know that you love him. Leave, drive a bit a way, cry, and drive back to the hotel. If you bring your child, bring your husband and rent two cars. That way you have an exit for him if he is upset. You can prepare him before hand that Grandpa might not recognize him and is not talking right now but that Grandpa still loves to hear people talk and sing and tell jokes. Follow your child's lead during the visit. If he gets upset, then he leaves with Dad and goes back to the hotel with a stop for ice cream or something special. But take care of yourself by staying some place else and providing yourself with some self care outlets where you stay. If your child is with you, find a fun activity that you can do as a family. If your child is not with you, find a place to get a great meal or a mani/pedi. Saying good-bye is hard. [/quote]
