August 24th

Sunday is the 1st anniversary of the death of my Father in Law. My DH has been having a tough week (even though he has not expressed it in so many words outwardly...I know his heart pangs in side). So, in memoriam, we are going to KiddieLand on Sunday. I have never been there. But I guess Miss J will be the 3rd generation to go there before they close down for good in the fall. And then afterwards, to a often visited restaurant by the family. It will be an interesting day. I am not sure how DH is going to be, I am not sure how MIL or SIL is going to be. I very much dislike somber days and get togethers. But I am sure there will be much drinking - not by me - to off set that (Haaa!!!)

DH took his dad's Harley last weekend, rode it home and has ridden in a few times this week. I think it brings him some joy to have it sitting in the garage and able to ride it. I just wish I could ride it with him. Last September we had a "ride" with all his friends/family to remember him. Very powerful event. I wish I could come up with something that would honor FIL for DH. But I am sure just spending the day with family will help.

Have a great weekend.

I'll be thinking of your DH and his family tomorrow.

I hope you're all able to enjoy the day.

I hope you all were able to enjoy the day. I was thinking about your family yesterday. It is so tough to deal with the loss of a loved one and it is sometimes harder to realize that a year has already gone by.

I hope you and your DH were able to have some fun at Kiddieland in memory of his father. I am so sorry, that's very tough to deal with I am sure!
