I have to tell you all that I am highly impressed with my father in law.  When my mother in law passed away in September, I was extremely concerned for him.  He was extremely lonely and depressed and for months, he just couldn’t seem to get passed it.  He would go to the cemetery every day.  Even on days that he should never have been out on the roads.  He also refused to get rid of anything that belonged to her and that even included her prescription medication.  But he’s starting to come around.

Last weekend he attended a dance at his church and he really did seem to enjoy himself.  Then last Sunday, he started going through her stuff and actually gave me a mother load of creams, powders and lady products.  For him, this was a huge step.  I know that he is going to miss her for the rest of his life, but taking these steps toward moving on, shows me that life (in his current world at least)  seems to be getting better.   Most of the stuff that he gave me I don’t use, but if it helps him for me to have it, I will gladly take it.

So, I am quite happy to see this improvement and I can honestly say that I’m not quite as worried about him as I have been.
