Two pieces of advice here.
1) If you are going anywhere down there, please take a GPS and a PLB. By all accounts it is very easy to get turned around and lose any sense of direction.
2) Always remember that you both have someone very close to you in common. And if it was not for your father in law raising his son to be who he is, you would not have the Sideshow that you have now. Please try to look at this as a chance to get to know him and turn things around. I remember the impact on my mum when my dad was fighting before he passed and it took a lot from her. I suspect he is dealing with similar issues. After 3 years I still miss my dad every day so I can only imagine how mum feels. Use this chance to build something between you. Whether he says something or not, he is going to need both of you to support him through this very soon, if he does not already.

Hi @timattalon
You are absolutely right and I'm sure we will get on fine. As my husband said, we are probably very alike and so I know that he will also have a good laugh. And despite of what I wrote in my story, I know he can still teach me a lot about fishing, so I'm looking forward to that. He did raise a pretty awesome son and more importantly, he did give him the right values in life, which I will always be grateful for.
Also, I hear what you are saying about GPS and PLB. I will be careful and look after myself, I promise.
I am actually getting really excited about the trip and writing about it has been very soothing and revealing. I can't wait to get there now. Not long, only a few more days.

Your writing style and the imagery created reminds me of Zane Grey. Are you a disciple ??
