How very sad, my prayers go out to all involved.
Two of our SonIL's have very ill parents, sadly in and out of the hospital past few yrs. Ones Dad is terminal and now that all treatments are over, feels not much hope. It breaks my heart and is so sad watching what everyone is going thru - the ill parents, the devoted children trying their best to help anyway they can and still stay strong and carry on. Will truly put a damper on any holiday spirit.
I know I miss my Dad and brother and my heart goes out to all missing a loved one, specially the holidays. {[hugs}}
