[QUOTE="Star*, post: 446673, member: 4964"] I think some type of a fruit basket would be in order taken over BEFORE her husband leaves BY your entire family in person with a sympathy card - simple, elegant---just to make a show of etiquite before you drop your son off. Then at some other point in time you can take your son back and drop him off. I would imagine that she (the other Mom) would probably appreciate the distraction for HER son so she can be free to help her husband L/D take care of any arrangements that may crop up. HOWEVER.....Between YOU and the other MOM.....HAVE a plan B in place with phone numbers etc and possibly a Grand parent or a third parent in mind IN THE EVENT that she WOULD have to take off and be with him so as to NOT burden their grieving family with your son - that would be the proper thing to offer. YOU have a place for your son to go in the event of.......THEIR emergency. MAKE sure that is in place. DO not depend on them as a complete get away for YOUR vacation. THAT would be in bad taste and not proper etiquite. I'm sorry for your friends loss. Hugs and Enjoy your vacation. [/QUOTE]
