I want to thank everyone for your very kind messages and words of encouragement these past few months - it has been a very difficult time for the whole family. We had many long days and nights at the hospital and although my FIL was steadily improving and truly rallying and getting better he unexpectantly passed away two weeks ago. We know that he lived a long, joyful life but losing him has still been very difficult for all of us - He was the glue that held the family together and the person that was respected, looked up to and made us smile.
Momentoes have been distributed, family members have left and returned to their lives, the apartment has been emptied, paperwork and legalities are being completed - a stillness has descended and memories will be cherished. Our remaining three seniors will be loved and hugged everyday.
Sewing and my projects will be my therapy as soon as I can get organized.
Again thank you - I truly appreciated your many kind thoughts and messages.
