person A: My child got sick and I had just made arrangements to go out of town on business. 
person B: Oh no. How did you handle having two such big priorities come up?
person A: I had to tell my boss I couldn't go and I was so stressed about that. It turned out the weather was bad and all flights go canceled so no one could go.
person B: Oh_comma_ sorry to hear. I am sure your child was glad you were home. Is she or he feeling better now?
