We have a really dear family friend that died 10 years ago this past May, he was only 69 and I still get teary from time to time. My MIL is 5 years in Sept, it's good to think of all of the happy times. It's only just over a year since my darling Dad left us and the emotions are still very raw for me and I tear up so easily when thinking about him. Thinking of you, sending lots of hugs.
