An Era Passed!

Well, I got back last night from Brownsville. My father-in-law's sister died. He had passed about a month ago on September 25th. They were the last two siblings in their families. None are left.

I was not welcome at my father-in-law's service. As much as it broke my heart not to be able to go, no one could stop me from going to Ninfa's service. As a matter of fact I was welcomed and spent a lot of time with my deceased husband's cousin's.

My brother and sister in law's acted like I did not exist at the viewing. I went along with it. Only one brother and sister in law went to the actual funeral. After the service I did give my condolences to them on the loss of his father and aunt and I shook his hand. Sad, to be so small.

Also, I got to visit his and Elvia's gravesite on this trip. I went by their old house also. I am very glad that to be home and extremely glad that I went.
