No Kill Shelter

My sister-in-law is a smoker and has a heart condition. She's been battling the smoking thing for years. She's successfully quit for years. But she's tripped up again. So she was throwing a Halloween party for all of her son who is 10 and her grandkids (she has two adult sons who have--eek!--8 kids between them).

As Austin and I were leaving, sis-in-law put down her cigarette so she could hug me. I razzed her about smoking. She said she'd like Austin & I to take care of her son if she dies from smoking too much. I told her we'd find a nice no-kill shelter for him. Yep, this is our typical family interaction.
