It has been one year

It has been one years since my father-in-law passed away. We drove to Congerville to his grave site today. Wes's Aunt Ina and her husband met us there and she brought along flowers to put on the grave. She just brought along silk flowers that she has picked up at garage sales and the et cetra shop. I think I will start to find silk flowers at garage sales to keep on his grave. He still does not have a headstone because no one has the money right now to get one. It is sad, but we are working on it and he will have one one day. (Hopefully soon) I can't believe it has been a whole year.

Afterward, we went to Wes's mom's house and she made us dinner (for all the siblings) this has been the first time in the 7 years that I have been with Wes and she has organized anything. I think Wes is a little upset about that. This year on his birthday he got a card from my mom and my grandma and not a single one from anyone in his family. I gave him the mail and asked him if he wanted to open his birthday cards and he said, "Oh, none from my family it looks like."

I really wish both of our families where closer and we did more family activities.
