November 6, 2011 - Most Sundays we enjoy dinner at my in-laws. I have always loved this for many reasons, one of which is the fact that I don't have to plan dinner. I just have to bring something, usually a salad. But I think the thing I love the most is being with extended family. It has made us very close as a family.
This past year, those Sunday dinners have been jeopardized by the ill health of my in-laws. And not just little illnesses, but major events - a heart attack last Thanksgiving and a stroke on September 11, 2011. I am happy to report that both events have had favorable outcomes, although there are still limitations from the stroke. But with time, we continue to be hopeful for a full recovery.
As so, today I am grateful for modern medicine that has prolonged the life of my in-laws. They are wonderful, faithful people.
