Don arrived home yesterday morning after flying all night long – sad to leave his father, happy to be home. Yesterday afternoon we found out my father-in-law had taken a turn for the worse in the hours after Don left. The doctor has said there is no hope. Even the strongest antibiotic has failed to help. And now we wait. Don is heartbroken.
Bless you, dear Lee.

I’m so sorry. It is wonderful, though, that Don was able to be with his father during the past week or so and that he will always have that time to remember. Prayers your way!!! Life takes such sharp turns in such little time sometimes.

Oh, Claudia, I am just heartbroken for Don and for you. Oh my gosh, poor Don. We have been through medical ups and downs with my dad (in his late 80’s) this past year. It is just so hard to see our parents age. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I am so, so sorry… Donna
