A Difficult Decision

Adam's father is adopted. As an adult, he found out who his birth mother was and they met.

She died on Monday morning.

Now Adam has to decide if he will be going to her funeral. He has been asked to be a pallbearer. The funeral is Friday afternoon in Minnesota.

Friday is my birthday.

How does one choose between things like this? There's no obvious answer. No matter what you choose, someone will be hurt/disappointed/mad.

Now, he tells me he only met her twice so it's not like they were thisclose. But it's still a family thing. Both of his sister plan on making the 5+ hour drive on Friday morning. His parents have already booked hotel rooms for Friday night.

What would you do?
