Bless your FIL. That was such a kind and thoughtful gesture to come to your office and give you a gift. You are so lucky that he is there for you.
As for your wife, well, she's coming out to play for the holiday. So, what are you going to do about the stockings? Do them or not do them? At least she is showing some concern for the pets. A little late in asking, but then again, they can't plan two minutes ahead and she may be opening the door for a bit of dialogue w/you.
All of them need our prayers this holiday season. We will most definitely get through this w/our faith intact.
Merry Christmas!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
