Facing family dilema, have built a successful business, have an opportunity..?

I have a Rental Business, we rent jetskis and boats.


Have a construction business and we are sitting good, have good employees.


And have a great guy that is trustworthy that has never taking advantage of me that I know of.


My dilema is that I have always wanted to gold mine, like in going to Alaska and setting up a mining operation, now most would say I am going thru mid life, but I have wanted to do this for over 20 years.


My family has had a large claim in Dawson Creek, Yukon territories.


Now my wife is sick and will not get better, she is 32 while I am 42.


We have 3 children together, but she thinks its not wise to go.


Better to stay close to her family, and her personal Doctor.


Think this wouold be good for us to get away, as a family and spend time just us together.


What does ANYONE think?


Moved from where I grew up to live close to her family due to her health.


Live in Idaho and really miss the water and mountains of Seattle planned on mov. to Alas. B4 health problems

Facing family dilema, have built a successful business, have an opportunity..?
I think getting away would be a great idea, medical records can be transfered and there are lots of good doctors out there...we all make sacrafices in life.....there could be a lot of ways that you guys could work this out...maybe commuting, she could bring the kids and visit time to time when they are not in school and or on long holidays......in every relationship there is compromise........
Reply:I dunno what to tell ya. If ya go bring some friends you trust just in case you come across some plain jumpers so keep and eye out. There are greedy people everywhere. Id go just to say I went up there but if the weather is crappy it wouldnt be a worthwhile trip.

SHE IS NOT GOING TO BE WITH YOU FOR EVER


AND YOU GOING TO MISS HER


DONT LET HER DOWN.NOT NOW!!!


NOW SHE NEEDS YOU MORE THAN EVER!!!
Reply:You didn't directly mention whether your wife is terminally ill, but I would suggest that you take a family vacation to Alaska. That way it's a win-win situation: you have not commited to a permanent move there while your wife is ill but you still are able to settle affairs as far as the claim goes. After a week or a month or so, you and your family can go back to Idaho so your wife can see her doctor.
Reply:If you love her more than your ambition, more than anything on earth, I suppose , you could stay with her. If you think of adventures, for all you know, you have found adventure in where you are . I mean, having to take care of your sickly family member and having to give up many of the things you hold dearest to . Aren't most heroes those who are willing to many things in life just for those they love? It's hard but you can do it if you think you can.
