Bad Holiday Timing
I feel really stuck, like I've stolen something really special and precious from my son even though I didn't know this was happening.
So, my son adores football (soccer to Americans). He joined a new team this year and played a blinder of a season. We just found out that they do an award ceremony at the end of the year for best player in each age group, voted by the team. He has a very good chance of winning since he played so well. This would be amazing for him, a great confidence boost which he really needs.
But we have booked to go to a family wedding abroad while it's on. He's going to miss it. Is this a terrible thing to miss? It would be the most incredible thing to experience winning and I feel like I've taken it away from him. Obviously we had no idea this might happen when we RSVPd to the wedding and booked the holiday. I feel so guilty I'm second guessing the holiday.
Any advice or similar experiences welcome. Thanks.
