Slipper Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 MIL and I get along fairly well. She's a bit scatter-brained which is frustrating at times, but she's sweet and means well. She called me tonight to chat about coming by to visit everyone next week-end. She made the comment that I was quite the Mother Hen (or Duck, I forget which one she said). She said that I was such a great mother. Then she paused a moment and told me that she had often thought about how wonderful life would've been if she'd grown up with a mother as wonderful as I was. She said she wished I was her mother. I admit I was a little teary because it was such a sweet thing to say. Interestingly, MIL has never had to work in her life because her mother was quite wealthy. She gave MIL everything. Anyway, just a sweet moment and wanted to share a happy In Law story. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

********* Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Oh, that made me tear up. What I wouldn't have given to hear my mil say something like that before she passed. On her deathbed, she was on a ventilator, so she could only write; and that only briefly because of fatigue and pain. She did write that she loved me. What a great reminder to SAY all the nice things to people that we THINK about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
