Just wanted to tell you ladies, my best friends, that my fil passed away earlier this evening. I posted a few weeks ago that he wasn't expected to live at that time, but since then he'd been doing so much better. This afternoon he took a turn for the worse, and asked to be taken to the hospitial, where he died. Actually his passing is a blessing. He was "ready" to go, and was frustrated with not being able to do anything but sit and look out the window. And, as much as my mil is missing him right now, caring for him in the state he was in would have been VERY draining on her. She would scarcely leave his side. I was going over most mornings for an hour so she could take a shower and things. Carl was going over on Sundays, telling her to go to church, but she wouldn't go. So now, after the funeral, I am sure life will settle down to a more normal routine.
Thanks, all. We called by sil today, and learned that she and her mom were at the house. My mil wanted to go through his stuff as quickly as possible. My sil said she (mil) was doing good; she would get emotional for a bit, then work for a while, then get emotional again. Which is to be expected.
'Just now reading this, Jackie. Saying "good-bye" is never easy, even when we have confidence that we'll see our dear one again. (Hugs)
I'm sorry, too, Jackie. Your fil was a very nice man and a great story teller! I'll be praying for you mil and your family.
So, sorry, Jackie. As expected as these things are they are still never easy. I am happy your fil is no longer suffering. I will pray for your family!
