I didn't mean to disappear after all of your comments. Your responses have been so overwhelming. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your advice.
Several posts ago I spoke about hubby having to go back east to help his parents move out of their home of 47 years into an assisted-living center. On Tuesday, his dad fell in the bathroom against the door, and needed a lot of assistance to get out. He went to the hospital for some tests. They weren't good.
Yesterday morning we were told that Dad probably wouldn't make it through the day, although he was coherent and worried about messing up everybody's Thanksgiving. That is SO like him, and says so much about the kind of person he is. He wasn't in pain, which is a blessing. Hubby couldn't get a plane out yesterday, but left early this morning.
He got there ok, but I haven't heard anything since.
Dad P is one of the kindest people I know. He raised, set examples of goodness and shaped the man I love and admire most in the world.
Please say a prayer or send a wish to make his passing as gentle as possible.
Thanks again. You guys are the best.

Update
Dad P peacefully passed away about an hour before I wrote the above. He waited until all his kids were by his side.

Hi Attila,
I’m sorry to learn about your Father-in-Law’s passing. Death is never an easy thing to cope with, but knowing that you’ve got a lot of people who care about you and your family should be of some comfort to you in your sorrow.
Go in peace….
You and the Hubby have my sincerest condolences.
I have been out of any electronic contact for 4 days now and I will have to write my Gasbag Review tomorrow when I get back to the land of High Speed connectivity.

Hello Attila,
I am so sorry for your families loss of what sounds like an incredable man.
Having been able to have all his family with him at that time I am sure gave him an incredable sence of peace and is also probably a form of comfort to your husband that he was with his father at that time as well.
I am also sorry for having been absent from your blog for such a long while. It was not my intent.
...Attila... (((((Attila)))))
...I'm sorry. I'm so glad that all of his kids made it...
**big, big sigh**
ATM, I'm very sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose someone you love, but it's even harder when it's so close to the holidays.
You can take comfort knowing your mother-in-law will soon be coming to live with you.
