I guess since we have a spiritual advisor, we don't need to find a "church home" anymore. ;~D
But telling them is the part I dread the most. I am a very non-confrontational type person. I would much rather ignore the situation and just hope it never comes up again.
I put this off far too long. It doesn't help that this gift certificate says it expires Aug. 31... it's sitting there like a ticking time bomb.
There you go. Call the place and tell them you can't use it by then and ask for a refund. Then send that to your parents. Put it all in writing so it will have time to sink in.
But you have to tell them. If you don't, it WILL come up again.
