The four men in the family, my daughter's S.O. and the three boys, had been scheduled to leave for a week's skiing vacation in Austria. The one boy said he was staying home to be with his girlfriend, and the other three immediately canceled as well, saying they weren't going to leave their son/brother alone in that situation. My wife and my daughter are VERY glad to have become a part of that family!
