Lifes Like That

Yesterday my father-in-law stopped by and when my husband asked him what were he plans were for tonight, he sounded really down and lonely when he stated that he wouldn’t be doing anything.  So after he left I told my husband that we should invite him for our New Year’s Eve supper.  It’s not going to be much, just a small Chinese buffet meal.  But I thought it would be nice if he wanted to join us and the children.  So last night I called him and invited him.  You wouldn’t believe how happy he sounded on the phone.  So I was quite happy that I had thought of this.  Hopefully the snow storm that we are experiencing right now will slow down so he can make the drive to our house to spend New Year’s eve with his grandchildren.
