Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My childhood friend and I are trying to work out a plan for seeing someone who grew up with us who is battling breast cancer.  We have to fly from different coasts and meet up to visit in Texas.  We will do this, but I have a hard time going to back where my brother killed himself.  It's been four years, but evidently I blame the place.  Irrational, but true.  And I am jumpy about a state where they've gone from conceal and carry to open carry.  It feels like entering territory where harm is just a hair's breath away.  I know some stuff will come up for me.  Yet this friend we're visiting was really good to my parents in their later years, and her daughter was my parents' goddaughter.  So it's clearly the right thing to do.  Having the moral support of my east coast friend will be comforting, and when I get there I believe I will be sending all my kindness to our friend.  We will also relieve her husband a bit, if only by distraction more than ability to help.  Okay, I know what's right, I'm going, and now for the details.
