My DH's Mother is Colombian. Most of her family still lives there. MIL and FIL went there after Thanksgiving for a 3 week trip for MIL's brothers 90th B-Day.
While there, FIL had a massive heart attack. He needed a triple bypass and a new heart valve. He had the surgery last Saturday, and has not woken up yet.
DH called me Wed afternoon while I was in Stop&Shop to tell me that FIL went into Cardiac Arrest 3x. He needed to get there quickly.
DH, his brother and sister had to fly out yesterday Christmas Eve. The tickets were almost $2,000 one way, and all 3 of them are married with small children.
We had to have Christmas yesterday and then I had to drive him to the train after dinner.
Ava was heartbroken that her Daddy was leaving and I was heartbroken to see him soo sad and vulnerable as he walked up the stairway to the train.
Please say a prayer for FIL. And, be thankful that your DH/SO was able to be with you and your families today..because Christmas just wasn't the same without him.
