Regarding the gate situation, yikes. We are having many burglaries in our neighborhood and people are starting to padlock their gates as an easy precaution. Burglars can still climb a gate but I think it just makes an attempted entry it a little more visible and so deters it? Good to hear you have an alarm. Be safe.
Your FIL's message is really sweet. That is a very thoughtful reach out.
You sound grounded and solid as a rock.
