Been a rough summer for the fam. Wife's sister died in June from cancer at 53 and had been staying with us for the last month. She lived in Erie but was getting cancer treatment in Pittsburgh. We had her cremated at my place, employee discount. In August my cousin died from cancer also, he was best man in my wedding, kindred spirit car guy, and more like an older brother. My dad three weeks ago. My mother-in-law has had a low-grade leukemia for several years which didn't really bother her but now has metastasized into stage four bone cancer. Oddly, she is getting around just fine and seemingly unaffected but I think she's going to hit a wall one of these days and it's going to be fast. My father-in-law was a nasty old coot even before he had dementia, and now he's worse, so if she goes we don't know WTF we're going to do with him. Between health issues like a new hip that is still painful and slipping a bit mentally, my mom isn't capable of doing much for herself so it's up to me to go grocery shopping for her and do stuff around the house. So I haven't been around as much as usual.
Sorry to run on, but thanks.
