cancelled lunch

My plans to go out with a friend today, for lunch, were cancelled. She received news last night that her ex-husband died from a heart attack in the Philippines. They had two children, who are living with her. She needs to buy their children tickets right away today, if there are any available going to Manila. She decided to stay here in the US because she has another son from her present husband to take care of! I was looking forward to seeing her today since we haven’t seen each other for more than four months, but I also understand that she has some very important matters to deal with. We can still get together at another time to catch up! I just hope that everything will be okay with her.
