Dilemma

This seems so stupid and trivial in light of what's going on with me family right now. We were supposed to go to Disneyland this weekend since our annual passes are expiring next week. There is a definite possibility that DH will not be home. There is also almost no possibility that I will be going out to Texas. My parents would not be able to keep L for a long period of time, and I would not be able to take him with me. Would it be terrible of me to go ahead and take L by myself? I just feel like on the one hand I want to keep things as normal as possible for L and going would be a distraction from the fact that DH is gone. It would also be a welcome distraction for me, to be honest. But on the other, I feel like it somehow means I don't care about what's happening, which could not be further from the truth. DH says I should go ahead and go. But I just don't know. Opinions?

    Of course, things have changed so rapidly, so this is all assuming nothing drastic has happened.

    Take him. When DH's grandmother died a few years ago, we had plans to go to Disney. We missed our first day of travel for her funeral and then we went. DH worried that it meant he didn't care, but it was a really nice distraction for all of us and an easy way to get back to real life.

    Take him.

    Similar but different story.

    One of our good friends a few years ago had tickets to take their daughter to Disney. A week before Hurricane Sandy hit and completely destroyed their house. (They had to live with family for about 6 months before they could move back in.) They took their daughter to Disney because they needed a distraction, and wanted to see her happy--especially since she was so young (maybe 2.5 years old.) They are thankful that they went.
