My brother's out of the hospital and doing very well. He's staying with some friends from church while we wait for our antibiotics to cure us! The Bryans are taking excellent care of him and hosting my mother as well while she is here. Although we get to have her here for the weekend since Leslie is staying there with Tim =) On another note, my Father in law died early Thursday morning at his home. While not completely unexpected, it came as a shock. He's been not well for years and has been battling the flu. The kids are taking it pretty well (mine, that is). They've not had to deal with death in the family before. 2 weeks ago my mother and father in law came out to visit, they wanted to bring birthday gifts for Trinity and Aria. My MIL had bought matching shirts for Lukas and his Grandad, gray t-shirts with a wolf on the front. They wore them together that day, it KILLS me that I didn't take a picture. Didn't even think of it. I don't know why I didn't. I really regret that. I don't know that he was a believer when he died, although anything is possible. Mike had shared the gospel with his parents often enough, perhaps the Lord was gracious and granted him a repentant heart before he died. I hope so.
