This Saturday day me and my friends are going to the Renaissance Faire with a sleepover the night before. We’ve done this for the past few years and it has been solidified as tradition. All the plans have been set since last week and this is the only weekend we can all go.
Well, this Monday my friend had some health problems come up within her family. Everyone in her house is stressed out of their mind, and understandably so. But the way this is looking she’s not gonna be able to go with us. She’s been looking forward to this for months, we all have. She’s my best friend, it wouldn’t be the same without her. This weekend is the break she needs and she’s probably gonna get it taken away.
On top of all that I worry that this might cause some of the others to be upset or back out.(which is probably unreasonable but shut up I’m word vomiting)
There seems to be so much uncertainty surrounding this whole thing. This is our annual big fun weekend and it’s probably gonna be a flop.
Edit: for clarification it isn’t my friend who is experiencing the medical issues but her mom[spoiler]thank you for letting me get that out OT. Keep scrolling as you please[/spoiler]

Man, I wish things went right in my life enough that I could complain about isolated incidents of things going wrong, instead of things going wrong just being the expected norm. Oh, but in any case, my first thought about what to do in your situation was to try to plan another event a little bit down the line when things have calmed down for your friend. I know you said this was the only weekend all of you can get together, and there's probably nothing you can do about that, but even if it's a little bit smaller, planning [i]something[/i] to make up for the plans you missed will probably go appreciated. Like, maybe you can't plan another big fair thing, but you could probably at least go see a movie or something.
