No Parents Alive Now

My mother-in-law passed away last night.  Her dementia progressed to the point it was affecting her whole body.  

Now both my husband and I have no parents alive.  Kind of an eerie feeling.

It seems like it was yesterday instead of last year that I was going through all of the things in my mom's house along with her financial accounts.  I have to remind myself that it was last year.

What is so sad about this is that she never really spent time with my children.  My mom spoiled them.  My mother-in-law for some reason was a unhappy person.  The children received that unhappiness and have given that to their children.  Most of the family aren't that sad.  Though, my father-in-law was somewhat like that also.  I don't understand how a person can be so crabby to their family members.

Even though she was like this I am happy that she is no longer suffering.  Dementia is a cruel disease.

My husband and I are now the leaders for our children, we are the storytellers, and we are the memory makers.  I pray that we leave happiness for our three children.
