He'd been fighting cancer for over 2 years.  His oncologist gave up on him 
2 months ago.  I figured he had 6 weeks at the outside at that point, but 
he hung on just a little longer.


I'm going to be busy with things having to do with the burial for the next 
few days, so if you need admin help and I don't respond in a timely 
manner, that's why.  I expect things to settle out to some new 
approximation of "normal" sometime after Labor Day.  (Yeah, what with one 
thing and another, that long.)



I don't have an issue with the length of time.  I just wonder how you can 
use the term "normal" with a presumably straight face . . .

Thank you.

He'd been fighting cancer for over 2 years.  His oncologist gave up on 
him 2 months ago.  I figured he had 6 weeks at the outside at that 
point, but he hung on just a little longer.

Maybe more like "new routine".  Which is about what you hope for with 3 
young children anyway.


We'll be seeing more of my mother-in-law for the next few months.  Which 
will be somewhat challenging (my mother wasn't the easiest person to 
live with for a couple of years after my father died, and did some 
things in her grief that she would not have done otherwise), but being 
around her grandchildren will be good for her and the grandchildren.
