We're hopeful my FIL will see the light and agree to move there. It was heart breaking the other night when he broke down realizing that his wife would probably never be returning to their home to live anymore.
The last few weeks have been more than stressful.

Heart-wrenching.
I was visiting my Dad for about a week. He broke his hip and is in assisted care at the time. His dog was just diagnosed with inoperable cancer (8 year old dachshund). Just a whole lot to deal with for him.
I stayed at his house, which my loving brother maintains for him. It is just perfect, the way he and my Mom made it. It was very difficult to be in his house, the way he and my Mom liked it without them there. Everything was in its place and perfect, but the people were missing. It is hard to even write about.
