This weekend is graduation weekend. 2 sets of parents have had my 4 rooms booked for months for this weekend. I got a call from one couple this am. Their younger son who was attending another university died yesterday. Their daughter graduates with honors tomorrow. The mom called to say that they couldn't stay tomorrow night and that they were willing to Pay for that night anyway. They just arrived, and at least so far seem to be holding things together. I've visited with the aunt and uncle who say that this family also had a child die who was about a year old after being born prematurely.
This is the 3rd time that the other family has stayed. Since they are travelling with a younger brother and sister, I decided I'd just let each kid have separate rooms tomorrow night and not try to fill the room otherwise. Family #2 knows about family #1's tragedy, so we have decided just to stagger breakfast times so they won't have to interact at breakfast. And no, I won't be charging them for the night they won't be here.
