I agree, it doesn't matter that she might not be critical - when I thought my presence would help my sick mother I'd go. More than once I jumped in the car and drove a couple of hundred miles when she'd had a 'funny turn'. My mother was always there when I needed her, when the shoe's on the other foot you go.
Loyalty is for people, not in general businesses. I've felt loyalty to individuals I have worked for but never for an employer that would and should not hesitate to get rid of me if it were expedient.
