8. I didn't post about my F-I-L because I just couldn't and still at times can't

write that he's gone.

He was my first husband's Father but oh how I respected and loved him for the fine Patriarchal figure that he was.
He loved his family and they in turn loved him so much.

I was a great disappointment to him when I divorced his son. I could never bring myself to talk about it to him but we did remain congenial through the years. Seeing each other at my granddaughter's birthday parties etc.

I will miss know that he's out there and forever feel bad that I didn't write to him sooner.

He died just a couple of weeks after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. I wrote a letter to him and to my M-I-L and spoke of things that should have been cleared up years ago. Unfortunately the letter arrived after he passed.

I will forever regret that.

Thanks for your kind words.
I don't know if I'll ever have peace, it seems to evade me these days. Sometimes you just have to wonder if it's worth it all y'know?

I will be ok.
thanks for responding to my post.
I appreciate that more than you can know.
