please track me, heading back. so sad to be leaving home, can’t wait to be able to move back permanently. about to cry my eyes out hahaha.

Just made it into Chicago on the train, and my flight to Philly is tomorrow morning at 8am. My anxiety is so incredibly bad, I am so scared but just trying to think about seeing my family and all the plans we have. I hate flying so much but my father was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s 2 years ago and i moved out of state a little before that, so getting home to visit whenever I can is a non-negotiable. All of it combined is so beyond stressful and makes me so sad. So cannot wait for it to be over.

Long story short my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease 2 years ago, I live in a different state and can’t move home for at least another year due to my husbands job. I try to visit home as often as possible and would like to go home to spend Christmas with my family this year, what are the odds they would let me take a personal leave during that time? I am really desperate to spend this time with my dad, but have already used my pto visiting home. How would I go about this/how does it work? Thanks.
