Hi Aaron,
I agree with Jade. If it is only for financial reasons, perhaps you could do a gofundme page or something similar from now on? I understand that you are heartbroken. I would be too! Actually I was planning to not to come this year at first, because I am turning 40 at that time when there is HC, and both my mom and especially my daughter asked me to stay home. At first I told them that I would, but after the last Homecoming I didn't know how to wait till the next year, much less two years! So I told them all that there is to tell them about how much this very special event means to me and *what* it means to me, and said that I understand that they are going to be disappointed at me, but that I have to do this. Because, and I didn't tell them that, I usually sucrifice a whole lot of myself for both of them in the name of love all other days and weeks of the year, but that week, once per year, is *mine*; to recharge my batteries, to meet like-minded, to experience magic which I have each time, and so much more. So I completely understand that you are heartbroken. I hope that it can work out for you next year, my brother!
