Families!!!
[quote:dc846bcecb="selchie"]Glenda & Moggy, my heart goes out to you. I hope things work out. Perhaps we can all joyously meet at one of the annual MTNZ Holiday parties and create new family.[/quote:dc846bcecb]
Selchie, what a lovely thing to say. ::):
It is very difficult balancing what is best for an elderly relative and what is best for yourself and your family. Sometimes you just cannot do it. We know FIL will be fine - he has family members to dangle the 'inheritance carrot' in front of and a social life to be envious of (he meets up with a gaggle of widows most days of the week to play cards, all of whom seem to be after his attentions. :icon_lol: ). With only 10 days to go before we leave, he is still not talking to us or the children. Quite a relief, really ... better than tears! :icon_neutral:
