Duff, dang I was hoping to see that all your divorce drama was over... boooo. But at least it’s close. At least you can console yourself with a trip to Israel. 
How cool!!
Babe I’m sorry this is so hard. That stepdaughter sounds like a total stinker. I’d say it’s unbelievable, but it’s totally believable... people get really weird when a loved one goes. But she’s not gone, so that’s extra ******.
We got some bad news about my mil. She’s been having a lot of mystery symptoms for a while, and did a lot of testing that came up inconclusive. Well it’s almost certainly the thing we feared, and she’s now only 84 pounds. Mrs wehav made a phone appt with the doc, and he said she’s got 6-12 months at best. We’re really sad. She’s such a lovely person. She took care of my fil for 6 years at home with Alzheimer’s. We hoped she’d have a few good healthy years for herself, after the grief of losing him got easier, you know?
I feel selfish, because I know I need to be strong for j and I am. But inside I’m really sad too. I lost me mom sooooo long ago. Just a year ago, I started calling her “mum.” Because I love her like a mum, and after much soul searching came to the conclusion that my own mom would be ok with it.
Anyway, that’s my stuff right now. And my own dad is getting pretty frail, too...

(((We))) I feel for both you and J. Will you come back across to the UK while she is still here? It is so hard for transatlantic relatives. When my Uncle ( my mums twin brother) was ill with a returning cancer, there was only going to be one ending and it wasn't 'happy ever after'. He lived in Canada, and my mum could not afford to go see him alive and go back for a funeral. She went across and made as many memories as she could with him and her church held a special service months later when he died. She faces a similar possibility with her much younger brother, who also now lives in Canada and has more health issues than my mum. Thou this time with her frailty and with my dad needing practically 24 hour supervision, I don't even know if she would be able to visit one last time.
My heart goes out to J having decisions to make. Thank heavens for Skype and FaceTime though.

Sending much love to both of you!

So sorry Wehave-----It's a very tough time for you ---Hugs my friend.
Duff have a great time on your trip. Lucky, lucky you !
I'm tired tonight. MIL is not doing well, and I can't seem to say or do
anything to console my Husband and the fact he had a few glasses of wine
explains some of it. tomorrow is another day.
