Ferny, I was afraid to even ask you. A son has got to be such a hard thing to go through. I cannot even imagine. I'm glad you all got on OK, and what your kids did is so nice.
My MIL had a bit of a hard time, having lost her son (my BIL, 46), and was a bit down.
My side was OK, our Dad and stepdad at least were older and had lived long lives. But we missed them.
