The Visit
We spent the evening at my in laws house. The kids had the day off of school and my mother in law was off in the evening. We both have terribly busy evenings this weekend, so this was our shot. We took the kids and headed to their favorite restaurant, The Old Country Buffet, for dinner. It was so nice to see my father in law teasing my kids and laughing with them. It’s been so long since he’s felt ‘light’ enough to play with the kids and to really enjoy them. I think my kids have been a little shy around him because he has been so quiet and stand-offish lately, but today they just giggled with him and wrestled. It was just so nice to see. It was visible that the weight of the world has been lifted off of his shoulders!
