Prayers for strength for my MIL; my FIL passed away early yesterday morning, he had been battling cancer for a couple years. Half the time, physically you couldn't have guessed he was as sick as he was. Wednesday morning he was fixing a window or door in the barn, late afternoon he was on his way to the hospital and he passed 1:25AM March 8.
He was a horseman from probably the time he could walk (rode, drove teams, castrated his own colts, trained saddle horses and driving horses), he was 82-83 years old, my inlaws celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last summer, he was 14 years older than she, so she's still pretty spunky. There won't be a service til spring, as he wants his ashes scattered on the ranch, and much of the access road to where he wanted is under 2-3' of drifted in snow, and spring will be easier for family and friends to come.
Thanks.
P.S. I'm fine, really. Hubby is typical guy, very stoic.
