To be honest, she never revealed directly to me she was traveling down. I only knew of it because she made a FB post with a countdown on when she would be traveling down to see her family and inquired about photographers in the area she could arrange a family photoshoot with.
So... the fact she never made any indication about friends contacting her to meet up or anything like that is just another reason why I'm not forcing myself onto her time like my Mom was essentially suggesting.
