I know this is a couple years late but he doesn't say he's been sick, he says the lady that hosts Story time has been sick, which is why he hasn't been going lately.
If you see this, I hope it helps!
Her going to Montreal was her way of finally doing something for herself after all those years of taking care of everyone else and never thinking of herself. She was doing something on her own, probably for the first time. I believe at one point, one of her sons said something about Montreal being a place she had mentioned she was interested in going but that she had never been willing to take the time away from her familial responsibilities to go. Now that she had opened up to the world around her and found her own voice, she was taking that long awaited trip.
I think they lived in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
These are just my thoughts but I hope it helps!
ETA: I just rewatched the movie the other day and noticed that the puzzle she received for her birthday was of a world map and the day she decided to start to put it together, she first closes her eyes and blindly points to a spot on the map. Her finger hit Montreal which she says out loud to herself. So I think that is probably also where she got the idea of going to Montreal.
HAHA I know, I'm like the only person even interested in this movie but in case the OP comes back, hope this helps!
