We're hoping so, as well.
I will be *so* thankful at Thanksgiving if he makes it out here then.
My MIL has been thinking that maybe she'd like to move back to Austin
(she grew up near here), but had all sorts of concerns. Of course, all
of our conversations took place before the cancer diagnosis; but if he
beats it and she's still thinking about it early next year, I'm going to
encourage it. That way, they'll both be able to see their grandchildren
at least weekly, and I'll have someone around that I wouldn't feel as
guilty calling for help when I need it. :) Two of her sisters are
living here, and her brother may be moving here later this year, so
there will be plenty of family around.
