We had to go through all that for my inlaws but things still got lost. Sometimes they reappeared, sometimes not. When we make things for people we love, we do it out of love and even though he may not be aware of what you have done, he is aware your kindness. My mother in law was always happy to see me and told everyone we grew up together. She was a gem and I miss her.
