[AT] Never Have Regrets

[Dallas and Kathy]

I know that I am just the wife of a lurker, but my sympathies to you. It is 
very easy to be just as attached to an in-law, as it is to your birth 
parents. I lost my beloved first Mother in Law, and 2 weeks later, I lost my 
best Buddy, and perpetual Boyfriend, my Dad. Just a few short years later, I 
lost my wonderful Mother. All 3 died within just 2 weeks time, and all at 
Christmas. This time of year can be both filled with sadness, and gladness. 
The sadness for not having their physical presence still with us, and the 
gladness that we got to share in their lives for as many years, or days or 
even minutes that we did.  Kathy D-allis's other half
