My thoughts this past week has been of my mother-in-law who unfortunately passed away last Sunday. Right now my husband is in Germany making arrangements and unfortunately I wasn’t able to go. It’s so hard when our loved ones are so far away.
I will forever remember her kindness and how we used to try to communicate even with my limited German. I think of the wonderful breakfasts we shared with her and how much fun we had when we went on little outings to museums, for cake and coffee and to nearby towns.
I’m so sad I didn’t get to visit her again this year. Not only have I been thinking of her but also of my dad and my grandma. They are always in my thoughts but even more so now.
So, I hadn’t meant to disappear from blogland but now you know why. Anyway, hug your loved ones and be kind to yourself this weekend. I’m slowly surfacing so I hope to get back here soon.
Iliana, I am so sorry about the loss of your mother-in-law! I had wondered if you were busy with your new position or what, but we often take a break for life. I’ll keep you and your husband in my thoughts and prayers as you guys adjust. It’s tough losing our family members. Sounds like you had a wonderful relationship with her and your memories are sweet. Take of yourself, my friend. Big hugs!
I’m so sorry, Iliana. Having read of your adventures over the years, I know how hard it must be to lose your mother-in-law, especially since you weren’t able to make your annual visit. You and your husband are in my thoughts.
You and your dear ones are in my prayers.
So sorry to hear about your sweet mother-in-law. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Kay – Thank you so much! I was completely unexpected and I will certainly miss her but will think fondly of our memories. And, I haven’t forgotten that we do need to schedule a meet-up!
Jenclair – Thank you so much! Every time we went to Germany I did get to visit with my in-laws and despite the language barrier we always had wonderful visits.
Isabel – Thank you girl! I appreciate your support! I hope your parents are doing well and I promise to write more soon!
Lark – Thank you so much! I appreciate all the prayers!
