Donna Huphman
You don’t hear too much about Fathers In Law, but I must say that mine was one of the best! What made him so special in my eyes, was that he was the father of eight children and each one of them looked up to their Father with respect, love, and admiration.
Being the parent of eight children is a tough job no matter how much you love them, but it is even tougher when they start to grow up and bring a whole bunch of other people into the family ,
And this is where my Father in Law, stood heads above many others. My Father in Law was a thinker! He was a quiet man, who didn’t push himself on anyone, but he would quietly watch and mentally “figure” out whether that person was a good person or not. And then he did the most incredible thing…….he kept his feelings to himself and would let that new person hang themselves or fit into family
Alverton and Beulah – My Father in Law and Mother in Law were a match made in heaven.. They adored each other and it showed.family meant the world to My Father in Law I was in the family for 42 years and I never had a argument or anything with my Father in law I love him very much and I’m going to miss him terribly but I know he’s where he wanted to be with his one true love Beulah ❤️❤️ Love u Donna xo
