I think you are right, Oak. After a few FB messages last night, it is still up in the air if this thing will happen.
But, the best thing is, that my close friend, who lives in Richmond, VA is coming up the same weekend. I have not seen her since January, 1972. We will go together, if it happens, so it might be a moot point, about DH. He probably would not think it strange if I went with her, and our other good friend, who lives not so far from me.
I guess I am just afraid that if I am asked to speak, I might get emotional, and while I know DH would not take it the wrong way, I guess I like to keep the different parts of my life separate. In the end, it doesn't really matter. If anything, all of this has given me a chance to reconnect more with my roots, something I never could have predicted, even 15 years ago. I denied this part of my life for so long, when, in reality, this was the part of my life that had the most influence on me.
