Once again a post about family. I’ve worried about Nick’s
parents for a long time. His dad will be 96 next week and his mom is 93. Come September they will have been married seventy years. My MIL broke her hip about fifteen years ago and we let her take two whole Sundays off
from cooking for us all. But she fell again this past Thursday evening and broke her hip
on the other side – or it broke and she fell, who knows. Anyway, a lot has
changed in the past fifteen years.
She’s frail now, weighs about seventy pounds and has dementia.
Thankfully all five of their kids live in town and all are more than willing to
help. Surgery is tentatively scheduled for Monday. I’ve always love my mother
and father-in-law. Nick’s little mother is as sweet and kind as they come. This
is a hard thing. It’s hard to know exactly what to pray for. But we use prayers. I’m praying for her to be
free from pain and God’s will be done.
So sorry to hear about Nick's Mom PK. Sending positive thoughts and prayers.

We'll give her more time this time. Seriously I think she only took two weeks off back then. She loved cooking for us.

Thanks, Ronnie.
DeleteTo live into your 90's is quite a feat, and to be married for seventy years is truly another. I wish your mother in law all the best in dealing with this ordeal, its wonderful that family is so close. Thinking of you and sending light.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really good family and I got pick of the litter with Nick.
