can't understand why a few people are so judgemental. If we feel it is going to be safe enough it does not matter what age our children are, if a bomb explodes it will affect all regardless of ages. We choose to still go, we won't be looking over our shoulders and we will try to still have that long awaited fantastic holiday. And I do feel the media is making it alot bigger and darker.. But that is my opinion and I am free to voice that opinion. I do not judge others and by saying I am a irresponsible parent - this does not bother me cause you do not know me. I have just spent the last few years in hospital beside a hospital bed with my 3 year old who we nearly lost several times through his kemo treatments, he is not going with us but my other 2 children are. We have tackled many situations good and bad and we want this holiday so badly. We will continue to weigh things up as it gets closer to our travel date and we have time still to cancel and be refunded, but this is not what we won't to do at this stage. If I am wrong and my children are hurt holidaying then yes I would never forgive myself but I believe when your time is up it is up - regardless of where you are in this world, I developed these feelings watching by baby fight for his life and after loosing a close friend as well to cancer, she was 5 yrs younger than me, married for 5 yrs an just bought a house, ready to start a family, to be told you have cancer, 2 months later she past away. She was the most loving person, so this is just how I feel. If I offend anyone I apologise in advance and I am sure there are alot of better parents out there than what I am, but I do my best.
