Death in the family
My father-in-law passed away very suddenly yesterday. Would appreciate all prayers and good vibes sent to my wife, mom-in-law, and the rest of that family. Will be away for a couple of days, best wishes to everyone.
Don't know what else to say, B, except that my empathy goes out now to you and your family with love and the hope that you can celebrate his life in full and not dwell for too long on his untimely death.
Hard to find words of comfort, BB - but praying for a sense of calm through the coming days and weeks as each of you comes to terms with the loss of this family member, in whatever relationship they held - father, spouse, friend.
My condolence's Bum ... a reality that I have never gotten used to, regardless of all those close to me especially who have died, and some while I was with them, but those you love will alwayz be part of you in spirit Bum, trust me ....
