How is your wife holding up? Her parents, correct?

yeah, man, her 'rents. she is in shambles, and rightly so. it's ok, though, as i know how to be strong for both of us - i've done it before, i can do it again.
it's true, you don't wish things like this on your worst enemy. i'm not going to lie, this old guy hasn't led a perfect life, but nobody deserves to die like this. i love him inspite of himself, too. it's funny, i don't talk with my family, but i found out what the word family means when they accepted me into their lives, home, world. i've done the best i can to treat them with the same amount of love, compassion and respect that they have shown me. i can't tell you the number of miles i've put on my car taking them all over the place, running errands and such. not to mention taking my mom-in-law up to new brunswick to RWJ cancer center when they found a lump in her breast. i never spoke of it, i wouldn't dream of it, because i still feel like i am in their debt for the kindness, etc., that they have shown me.
it's not everyday that you run into people like these, and i hate to think the old guy is going to go anytime soon.
thanks to all for your kind words. i appreciate it.
