As I reflect on my relationship with my father-in-law, I can honestly say, he was kind in spirit, gentle in tone, and generous of all he had with me and my husband.
When we built our home in the early 90's, he secured over 70 seedlings(mostly pines)for a wind barrier. He and I had a great time the day we planted those trees. Now the trees are over 20 feet tall.
I will miss him.
