Default emotional times

FIL died last week. The funeral is on Thursday,
so we are driving down tomorrow. It's going to
be a very sad time.

I want to get 10-20 of his shirts and make lap
quilts for all five of his children, including
DH. I hope that step-MIL has not given away
the shirts yet. (She's a bit loopy.)

To top it off, we had a send-off lunch to a
coworker today who is being mobilized to
Baghdad. He's not my best friend, but he's
in the cubicle next to me, so it'll be an
obvious vacancy.

Anita,

It is so nice of you to think of others right now. Lap quilts from
his shirts is a very nice idea.

I am so sorry for your loss and your families loss. Prayers are being
sent your way.
