This is the last picture I took of Dad with my husband and kids at his house. He no longer lives at his house because he was getting to the point where we can no longer trust him living alone. It makes me sad to see Dad go downhill that way. He is such a great father-in-law and I miss that about him. I am not sure what condition he has but he can't remember who we are anymore. He think and act like a child most of the times.
My husband suggested to his sublings that they should put him in a home but my SIL did not like the idea. So now that Dad can no longer live alone, she is taking care of him now at her house. I commend my sister-in-law for doing because I would have done the same thing if he is my Dad. In fact, I wanted to do it but they did not let me. . We feel so sad on Fridays when we take our kids to piano lessons in Marland Heights. We used to visit him at his house on that day but now, we no longer go to his house because it makes my husband really sad to see his childhood home where he grew up, filled with emptiness. I am not sure what they are going to do with the house but I think my niece in law will be living there now that Dad is living with my SIL.
Letting go is definitely difficult, mentally and emotionally. I can understand why your hubby is feeling that way. I hope things go well for your father in law. May God bless your family.
