Good Evening Campers!!
Greetings from freezing Florida!! LOL..
Yesterday I went to see my F.I.L. in the hospital..he's not doing so well..when he comes out he will getting hospice care at home which we all know what that means...to me he seems to have lost his fighting spirit and has been reminiscing about the past a lot..and he told me he thinks his body is shutting down.. it will be very hard when he goes..his kids are scattered all over the world...I was the one who told my hubby his Mum had passed and it looks like I will be the one to tell him about his Dad.... I'm trying to decide how much to tell hubby..I want him to be able to say goodbye to his Dad in person but we have no way of predicting when he will go...oh such a difficult time...
I went to the mall today to spend my gift cards at my two favourite places..Yankee Candle and Booksamillion...I got 4 books..will have to give you the titles later...and a bunch or tarts for my burners and one large Jar candle that was $15 instead of $24...my house smells lovely right now...
That's all from me tonight..off to watch some telly and maybe read a little..staying inside where it's warm and cozy...
take care..

Hey Lyn,
I wonder why I don't get alerts when you post? I have the same with Mel in Minn. Oh well.
Glad to know you have a Boj. Will keep that in mind as we pass thru Orange Park. It is our favorite chicken place.
Sure sorry to hear about the FIL, have been too familiar with the situation. And it is bad with children scattered all over.
Oh I know J-ville are can be COLD! When our ship would pull into Mayportand we were still in Whites, I have froze often. HA!
TAke care, and stay warm.
Hey! Cold in your homeland also!!

Prayers for your family.Could
Sorry to hear about your FIL. I don't have any words of wisdom. I just hope for the best for you and your family.
I was also the one that told hubby that his father had died. Then came the knock on the door. A Navy and marine stood in front of me. I knew that had gotten the red cross message and they were there to deliver it to my hubby. I know your pain.
As for how much to tell him?.... If he is still over seas I would not say to much, but you might be able to send him a red cross message letting him know that his father is not doing well.
From one military wife to another I must say that this is hard, and that I am here for you, so if you want to call me then do so.
Hugs

Stay warm and curl up with a good book. It makes the hours melt away. What fragrance is the candle? I just bought one that smells like sugar cookies. So sorry to hear about your FIL. It may well be devastating, if your hubby doesn't get to say goodbye. On the other hand... maybe it's better that he doesn't see him wasting away. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Hang in there.
I'll be praying for your FIL and you and your family. It is never easy saying good bye.
Oh Lyn how hard it must be with Lester away and his Dad so ill ,Im sure you will make the right choice ..love Jan xx

Thinking of you,at this difficult time.

I'm so very sorry to hear about your FIL entering hospice. This I know is a tough time for you and your family. My thoughts are with you always and you know I"m only a phone call away. Call anytime Lyn day or night :)
Hospice will be really good to him and YOU. When my Mom told me she was down to her last couple of weeks, she was 100% correct. People just know. As a hospice volunteer and advocate for end-of-life issues and rights, I've learned that this is a sad time of course but can also be a great time too in many ways. I try to forget the pain they will have and the impending loss, and just give them everything I have of me and/or what "they" want.
Wish we had a Booksamillion here. Great store!
Stay warm.
Hugs, Gayla
I'm so sorry about your father in law. Sending you big hugs.
I'm very sorry to hear about your FIL. I know this is a very hard time for you. I do hope your husband can be home before he goes.
So sorry to hear about your FIL
Keeping him and your family in my prayers...
Hugs
