Conundrum

I have a conundrum on my hands.

My brother's wedding is Sunday (a once in a lifetime event).

MomMom is visiting on Sunday. She says it will be a last time in her lifetime event.

There are two mutually exclusive events that I have to try and make happen. This could be one of those situations where attempting to make two things happen at once fails. I don't want to try to do one and neglect another though, so I'll have to pray and figure out a way to make it work.

I don't want to have the "I didn't try to make it work" regret to deal with.

Have I mentioned one of my life philosophies? There are three yous: the past, present, and the future. You can't live for the past you, because the past is come and gone. You can live for the other two. Don't do anything in the present that the future you is going to look back and say "Why on earth..."

It's not a 100% effective policy, because we all make mistakes and who knows what the future brings, but it has saved me from giving up or taking a shortcut I would've regretted before.
