Too much of this is recent to me, and I am sending the good thoughts and prayers your way.

Best to You and family now and in the future,

Hi Jill,

I am so sorry to hear the news of your father-in-law. I will be saying a prayer for you all and especially Ken tonight. Sending all my positive energy your way. I will be thinking of you and if you need someone to talk to do not hesitate to call.

Debbie

Hello Jill,

I am so sorry to hear of your sad news. I will pray for you and your family on Sunday morning at church.

Blessing,

Trina

Here's hoping that your family will make it through this tough time together. I will remember your family in our prayers.

So very sorry you are all going through this Jill.
Sincere prayers and warm hugs for all of you.

Jill,

I am sorry to hear the news about your father-in-law (no need to call him "ex-" as your love for him continues no matter what your marital status) and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I completely understand the relationship you continue to have with your in-laws, as I have the same situation going with my (soon to be ex-) wife's parents. We always got along very well, and her father has made it quite clear that even after we go through with the divorce he'll come over to my house to fix anything I need fixed (wife and I actually separated and are better friends now because of that; actual divorce won't happen for a while, as she needs the health insurance I get with my job).

Thanks Buggie,

I really appreciate the prayers. They must be working, because there seems to be a sense of calmness in the air around Brittany at least. Her and Ken have a very close relationship so this whole thing has been hard for her. When we found out in December that he was no longer in remission her grades started to drop. I got a note home from her teacher the other day because Brittany has been very distracted at school, which is not the norm for her. On Monday, I will go into the school and talk to her teacher and also the school counsellor so that they will understand.

Your prayers have meant the world to us.

Jill

Thanks Cindy,

Your support means so much to me right now. Thing are kind of in a blur and just going on surviving right now. Ayden has croup and has passed the nasty virus on to me so I am sicker than I have been in the 5 years that Tom and I have been together. Last night was Brittany's birthday party so I had to host 9 kids. I didn't have a voice by the end of the night. Oh well. That is what we do as parents right.

Thanks again for your prayers and support through all this.

Jill

Thank you Gerri,

I have noticed that the prayers and thoughts are really helping Brittany. Last night was her birthday party, her birthday will be on Monday, anyways, she actually had fun. I was a little concerned but I think it was a very good distraction. We will be heading to Victoria, Brittany and I, on Wednesday or Thursday to spend some time with Ken and Ali. I don't know if Brittany really understands that this will probably be the last time that she sees him. I haven't been able to tell her that part.

Thanks again, your thoughtfulness and prayers mean so much to us during this time

Jill,
If numbers of prayers and good wishes can have a positive affect on someone, then you've come to the right place. We're all behind you here, wishing and hoping for a good outcome to this. Your father-in-law (he's not an ex, just your husband is )sounds like a very special man, and he's luck to have you in his family.

I don't think it's weird at all that you're still connected. It was that way with my ex's family too. Just because we can't live with our spouse doesn't necessarily mean that we have to give up their family.
