I need to shake it off before I travel down to my daughter's on Wednesday for a spot of grandmothering, which I am so looking forward to.

I am very sorry for your loss, but so glad that your family could spend time with your father-in-law before his passing.

Instead of thinking of tears as grief, I like to think they are an acknowledgement of feelings - of hope, of love.<br /><br />I will be off for a few days to attend my Father-in-Laws funeral. May or many not be checking in over the next few days but will catch up when I return.<br /><br />Love you guys.<br />Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-43170790083260606002018-11-17T20:31:21.710-06:002018-11-17T20:31:21.710-06:00Thanks so much, Toni.
