It's been a difficult month, but we are trying to keep on keepin' on.
My Mother-in-law passed away on April 11th. Bless her soul, if there are any saints left on this planet, she was one of them. She was 76 yrs old, married to the love of her life for 55 years, they raised 8 children, and have 18 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren.
Anne had a pulmonary disease for 4 years, and it didn't get bad until about 4 months ago, and at the end it took her life very quickly. She wanted to stay at home until the end, and with the help of her family her wish was granted. My husband is the baby of the family and has an incredible Dad and 7 siblings, the only brother that lives out of state flew in to be there and we were all there with her when her life ended....quite a spiritual experience which most of us had never been through before.
I feel blessed to have had such a wonderful woman as her in my life, I thanked her for raising such a wonderful son, that I now have as a husband. This is a very hard time for my honey, he was very close to his mom, so I know there are going to be a lot of sad, angry, pissed off days ahead of us.. all that I can do is be there, to listen, let him cry or scream or give him a pillow to punch. Our 4 yr old is handling the loss very well, my Grandpa just passed in Jan, so she had experienced his funeral and talks about Heaven many times before..she asked alot of questions which is good, she's curious, so I think that's a healthy way of dealing at such a young age.
Be thankful for the people in your lives, you just never know what's in the plan. Keep hugging, and kissing and saying "I Love You".


Deepest condolences
