EL the Famous Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 my father-in-law passed away ~ 5 years ago due to liver complications brought on by struggles w/ alcaholism. it pains me that my kids will never get to know their other grandfather, who (addiction aside) was a good man who thought the world of the concept of family. it was excrutiatingly rough on my mom/brother-in-law and wife...but as time has passed, while you never forget, you do learn to cope and make it appreciate your own life even more. stay strong, god bless.

pillowy star Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 My Dad was able to talk about Boris' death today for the first time totally reasonably. I take that as a good sign. Thanks everyone, you have an amazing ability to make difficult times a bit easier Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pillowy star Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 My parents chose a gravestone today, which was the last of many hard & almost unbearable things for them, and they asked me to scan the latest picture of Boris to print it out for them and put it into a frame, so I take this opportunity to post the picture, as I think I said somewhere I would. This picture apparently was taken just a few days before he died; apparently he wanted to use it to try and get back into a proper job, i.e. for his applications.
