Thank you, funeral was yesterday. I have cried so many tears but mostly for the wrong reasons. My family is ripped apart at the moment. Please be very wary when an older parent remarries. My Dad was married in a small private ceremony with none of either family knowing. Yes he loved her and had company and she took care of him (but not always in a way that we thought was best for him). I'll say again Dad was the most loving, caring, forgiving family man there ever was and he married the most negative woman (even her family agree with that) and other descriptives. My Dad would be horrified at was is happening and it was his wish that we remain a family.
I may be naive, trusting and optimistic but I have not given up yet and do have the support of many family and friends.
I am having a party for my husband's 60th Birthday tomorrow all organized by my daughter and daughter-in-law as I have not had much time or energy to devote to that so hopefully that will be a happy occassion.
