Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I've been coordinating with my childhood friend to fly to see a mutual childhood friend, who has stage 4 breast cancer and is in the middle of chemo.  She lives in Texas and we each are coming from a different coast.  But my flight is non-stop and my friend's complicated.  She has to drive an hour to her nearest airport, and will require a stop somewhere on the way.  We are determined to do this, and cheer up our friend.  It's a tradition we have, the three of us.  Again, it was the middle of the country, but at least we were able to fly together, with only one stop.  My childhood friend prefers to drive, and can do that to see her three grown children and her grandchildren.  But this is a mess, and more for her than for me.  My weather is mild, while her weather and that of Texas can involve ice storms and delays.  I wish I could figure out a way to make it easier on her.  I know she's getting a headache about now.  However, she is intrepid, and will get a flight.  But it's snowing where she lives, and she's kind of blocked in with her computer, and there is no escape.  I feel for her.
