My parents both retired this year. My Dad served his mission in Frankfurt, Germany 40 years ago and we got the opportunity to be able to go with them. It was close, a bout of lice with our family, heart issues for my mother-in-law, projects at home, school for kids... we almost had to let them go without us, but thankfully the lice cleared up in time, projects were put on hold, soccer and piano put on hold and most importantly Kate was with Grandma and Grandpa Robertson to help with their projects (a deck rebuild) and our kids. She was able to see Ruth (accidentally), who was in the Provo MTC. The kids loved having her there and I'm grateful for the help.
We took the frontrunner up to the airport and my mommy heart was sad to leave my kids. I knew they'd be okay, but we've never left them without parents for more than overnight.
