John,

You've just written an excellent eulogy of a fine man.

Thank you for sharing your father-in-law with us.

You may not feel that you were the "best" son-in-law, but your presence at his last breath, being close enough to break his fall, was something that none of the rest of the family will be able to claim. The human touch is a powerful thing.

Sounds to me as if you were right where you were supposed to be, when you were supposed to be.

Prayers for you and the rest of his family. May he rest in peace.

Ed
