My father-in-law hasn't been doing well, so they called in hospice yesterday. He didn't want to die in the hospital, so the hospice team moved heaven and earth to get him moved from the Tomball hospital to a 7-person care facility in Magnolia yesterday afternoon. We couldn't have asked for better people throughout that ordeal.
Then this morning while I was getting dressed for work my wife got the call that he was gone. I drove her there, and we waited until the hospice nurse got there to pronounce him dead and call the funeral home to come get him. We left then, because my wife didn't need to be there to see them load him, but everyone was a big help, especially to my wife.
She wanted to go by her father's house to check on some things, so we headed that way. Stopped at the IHOP between Montgomery and Conroe for breakfast. Of course my wife was on the phone with various people the whole time. Apparently she was overheard, because shortly before our food arrived our waitress stopped by our table and said that a young lady who had been sitting two or three tables away (and who neither of us had noticed) had covered our check. The waitress had also overheard, and stopped by our table later to offer her prayers and condolences. In spite of what you'd think from the news that we're bombarded with, the world is full of good, compassionate people.
