conv: I was supposed to go on a work trip but my child go sick. I was so worried to tell my boss that  i wouldn't be able to go. It was an important trip and it was too late for someone to replace me. My child got sick and I had just made arrangements to go out of town on business.  Oh no. How did you handle having two such big priorities come up? I had to tell my boss I couldn't go and I was so stressed about that. It turned out the weather was bad and all flights go canceled so no one could go. Oh_comma_ sorry to hear. I am sure your child was glad you were home. Is she or he feeling better now?
