Can't stop crying..

It's confirmed my little brother who is 3 years old has Leukemia.. He's been begging my parents to see me & I talked to my husband & he's going to take me to finally see him. My husband said he can take me tonight after he gets out of work & pick me up tomorrow night after work so I can spend some time with my little brother at the hospital. I would really like that but it's almost a 2 hr drive & my husband doesn't get off work until 11:30pm, he's gonna fall asleep on the way back which is what I don't want plus I won't feel comfortable being alone because my family doesn't talk to me & when we do talk they just insult me. Idk what to do I told my husband to take me on Monday since he doesn't work but he's also going to feel uncomfortable because my family doesn't like him... I  feel like spending the night at the hospital would be the best choice but I'm worried my husband will fall asleep on the way back home because he's done it before & if he drops me off he won't be home until 3am & he works tomorrow from 7am-11:30pm.I really don't know what to do...

" I'm thinking of going on Monday, & stay the night at a hotel near the hospital with my husband "

Praying for you and your little brother. Keep your head up and stay strong for him. As awkward as it may be be the bigger person and don't worry about what the rest think of you or your hubby. This isn't about them (not to sound mean) or you. This is about little brother put all differences aside and only worry about showing him how much his big sister loves him.

Thank you all for your prayers it means a lot❤ I just hope there's a cure for him because I don't know any details on how advanced his Leukemia is. I'm just glad my husband is going to be by my side when I go see my little brother.

Praying for your little brother. I hope and prays he be alright. Do what's best for you and if you know your husband will fall asleep I wouldn't do it because that's extremely dangerous and you don't want him and your little brother in the hospital.

I'm sorry for that.prayers go out. But I'd say go now & just be there with yur brother to show him that yur there instead of waiting cuss yu know yu never know what can happen. No one does so I'd say go now & just spend time with him. & as for yur boyfriend just maybe stay otp with him until he gets home even if yu aren't talking at least yud know when he gets home.

It breaks my heart, he hasn't been able to leave the hospital, he was there for an entire week & got out & a few days later he's back & he can't leave for 2 weeks. I have to wait until my husband gets home to tell him because I'm thinking of going on Monday, & stay the night at a hotel near the hospital with my husband since he doesn't work Monday & Tuesday. And then see my little brother again on Tuesday, it's just hard with the tension between my family..

That's such sad news :(
could your boyfriend take a day or two off work? Stay in a cheap hotel near the hospital?

Maybe everyone will be polite considering the circumstances?  :(

Very sorry ti hear - he's in our thoughts. ♡
