What a great opportunity God gave you, to know your father in law in a way that others didn't. You must surely be missing him. <br /><br />This is a heart-moving tribute to a great man. I found myself looking forward to meeting him someday in heaven.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your heart so beautifully on this post. God gave you a good opportunity to be with him in his last days. I like to think that it had a healing effect on all of you who stood by him during his last hours. A sense of closure, among other things, is what it gave you. Like seeing off someone at the airport!<br /><br />Thank you too for visiting my blogplace. I appreciate your comments.<br /><br />See you again one of these days.<br /><br />Love<br />LidjCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423318174382795592.post-54021634588485462402010-03-11T21:08:22.382-05:002010-03-11T21:08:22.382-05:00Hi jacquelyn,

Sorry, but it is too long and I am too lazy to retype it all, so would you go over and look for it, it is right after your comment.<br />Thanks, it might help you, not sure. Have a great weekend,<br />Blessings, NellieNellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423318174382795592.post-52386359502925156282010-03-09T10:31:08.361-05:002010-03-09T10:31:08.361-05:00I thank you one and all for these comments and for...I thank you one and all for these comments and for sharing some of your thoughts too. These transitions are never easy, are they? But they do serve to remind us that life is fleeting and to make the most of the relationships we have while we have them.

I know there was a lot of living between the lines, too.<br /><br />My father-in-law has been gone for many years now. I didn't know him well (having met my husband in college and then living at a distance, I only was around him 2-4 times a year....) I'm not sure how my reflections would read if I were to write them.<br /><br />It was good to read this and appreciate the time I have with our 3 remaining parents.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423318174382795592.post-72217199785445512592010-03-08T13:39:53.803-05:002010-03-08T13:39:53.803-05:00Touching story!

Thankfully, the Lord has a way of balancing us when we feel out of balance. I'm glad to have found you in my neighborhood today - I saw your comment over at jackie's place. <br /><br />I am 24/7 caregiver for my 83 year old father. It is mostly trying times. No one seems to write about this snadwich generation of caring for elderly parents. It is nice to see that someone is addressing this specific season of life.<br /><br />God bless you for caring<br />Patrina <")>><<br />His watchman on the wallPatrinas Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103800317102189590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423318174382795592.post-89550465792290175782010-03-08T11:25:12.906-05:002010-03-08T11:25:12.906-05:00Beautiful post, Jacquelyn!

Bittersweet memories for sure. <br /><br />I dreamed of my dad just last night....He's been in Heaven twenty years now.....my how time rushes by.<br /><br />My mom will be 91 next week and her health has been declining over the last several weeks. I'm spending much of my time now with her at the assisted living. So difficult to walk this journey, but His Grace is sufficient and I have the immeasurable comfort that upon her last breath here, she will step over into the arms of Jesus.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week!<br /><br />Sweet Blessings!<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471225291665810800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423318174382795592.post-78969271402609002972010-03-08T08:56:48.899-05:002010-03-08T08:56:48.899-05:00Jacque, this was a lovely tribute to your FIL.

My mom is gone too, she died when I was in my 30's so it has been a while and she died in her sleep at the age of 55. Bad heart. So there was no getting to say goodbye like I was able to do with my dad. <br />Thank you for sharing this precious moment you had with your FIL. It so touched my heart reading it.

Your thoughts and rememberances are similar to mine of my father-in-law. With my own parents, I was with them both at their passing, along with other family members gathered around the bed. I find comfort, in being with them, having had my mother pass while holding her. <br />Appreciated the loving memories of your father-in-law.<br />WandaWanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423318174382795592.post-52998219457940400182010-03-08T08:40:04.440-05:002010-03-08T08:40:04.440-05:00Oh Jacque,

Some good and some very sad, but that is life, isn't it? I was lucky to be with my sister till the end and she passed in my arms. It is not something I will ever forget nor will that memory ever fade. It is good that you were able to say goodbye as many people never do and that often is very hard to live with. Thank you again for a thoughtful post.<br /> your friend,<br /> JanetJanet Metzger, Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004040279820041203noreply@blogger.com
