I know that today I will have to say goodbye to my inlaws and the best part of my past 26 years of marriage to their son. My father in law is dying and he has been taking his last walk over the bridge to eternity for this last week. He has been such wonderful husband, father, friend to everyone he knows. I love him so much and I know he is the last link to the family. I have been by his sons sides this last week and they have been gracious enough to allow me to be at his side and give him the love that he deserves as he passes on. I am so lucky to have been accepted into this loving family. My in-laws accepted me with open arms and I was introduced as their daughter. I love him so much and I will miss him so much but I know he will be in a better place and I will see him again.
Just remember we may not marry the right person but sometimes we have to overlook them to see what we are actually blessed to have right in front of our noses. I guess I should of journaled this but I wanted to honor him and tell the love and respect I have for him and will never forget him or my beautiful mother in law. In this respect I thank my ex for marrying me. Posted on 11/05/09, 04:11 am |

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how you feel. I really miss my ex father-in-law. He is getting up in years and doesn't have good health. I would like to see him before it's too late.
Yes, we divorce the spouse but sometimes not the family. Big hugs of comfort to you.

I am so sorry that you are losing someone that you has been so good to you, but so glad that you had him in your life. I often think my life would have been so different if I had only had a positive male father figure. Cherish all those wonderful memories and know that you brought him happiness by being his daughter. Big hugs, Kimmee

Thank you all for your wonderful, kind words. I am happy to say that my father in-law passed away this morning at 10:07. He was very restless and seemed to be fighting evil spirits. My ex and I were in the room alone with him and the only thing I could think of to calm him down was to read the 23rd psalm to him. He finally settled down and took a restful breath and slipped away from us. I was able to say goodbye to him in private as his other 2 sons had left to go get some rest. I did call them but they did not make it back in time to say their farewells. May he rest in peace and be joining his wonderful wife of 52 years. I love you both and look forward to seeing you both again in the future.
Love, Nevaeh
