My FIL did nave a small stroke, the good news is he should recover. Being that he is 90 and is now alone, I feel he may never recover. I know Dad, is a devout Christian, and that he has been ready to be called home for sometime.
He has lead a good life, raised 5 children, worked his way through school, and retired with a Phd in Chemistry, and was Director of R&D for his employer. I have always respected him. Out of the 5 kids, all are boys except for my wife. I am the only son in law, and the only one to call him Dad, vs his given name like my sister in laws. My wife and I are the only ones who never attended college, but to him it didn't matter. I have missed our talks we had over the last 30 years. we would talk politics, religion, personal life experiences. I will miss him when he passes on, but know that we will rejoice when we meet again with our heavenly father, and my own mother, grandparents, and MIL.
Stay Safe, My Friends.........

I hope he recovers completely and you have many years of talks left!!!
Thanks PP, But he is suffering from a form of Alzheimer's. He couldn't attend a family wedding this summer, as he gets confused easily in larger crowds. My nephew and his new wife visited him before their wedding. My SIL says when you visit now you have to introduce yourself, then he remembers who you are. Its hitting us real hard.
I'm sorry, Rob. I still hope for a quick recovery. You certainly have a special relationship with him. God bless you all, and you are all in my thoughts and prayers. At least he still remembers, some never do. We have a lady in church who has a very close family member who doesn't remember anyone, even when introduced. She can't discuss that family member without weeping. But, like you said, we all look forward to the 'family reunion' in the future.
