It's not helpful but from what you've said I think I'd bite the bullet and go FF...sure it's a lot of money and it won't make you a better photographer in my opinion (it will give you more flexibility though), but I wonder if getting another crop sensor would leave you with that nagging feeling still, which ultimately could mean you go FF one day anyway but instead of buying one upgrade now you'll have bought a crop sensor upgrade and then moved on to FF. In addition to this, you've actually got a bit of a head start with some of your glass too.
A final thought; you say about not wanting to spend the money on yourself and I get that. I would encourage you to see it as an investment to help preserve some family memories though, granted you can do that with any camera but I've always thought that if you're inspired by the gear you shoot with you're more likely to shoot more regularly (hence my own transition to Fujifilm cameras, which better the 'shooting experience' for me personally). You could drive to work in a Nissan Micra but it would be a lot more enjoyable in a Ferrari...
G.A.S is a powerful thing my friend!
