Mother In Laws
I hear horror stories about Mother-In-Laws all the time. And the number of jokes about them seem endless. It's suppose to be normal to make mother-in-law jokes. They are suppose to be mean, overbearing, obnoxious, nobody is good enough for my son type, you're not doing that right, blah, blah, blah. You know what I'm talking about. THE "Mother-In-Law". The one that everyone loves to hate. And maybe you do have one of "those" mother-in laws. If so, I'm so sorry. It must be horrible to put up with her just because you married her son.
But, if you're lucky, you will have a mother-in-law like I had. My mother-in-law, God rest her soul, was the BEST! She started out as my mother-in-law, then became like a mother to me, then became my best friend. Even after I divorced her son, she stood by me. When I remarried, she accepted my husband as her son-in-law. It was rather amusing when she would introduce us as her daughter-in-law and son-in-law. People would stand there with a look on their face, like "Huh?" until they would figure it out. I loved her so much and I miss her every day. She was a wonderful grandmother and would be so proud of her grandchildren how they turned out. I always felt blessed that God gave her to me as my mother-in-law. In fact,I know I was blessed. I could tell you a million about mine, but this post is about another mother-in-law really.It's not about mine. It's about someone else's mother-in-law.
My daughter has the best mother-in-law in the world. She loves my daughter as if she was her own. I am so happy and yes, I feel blessed that my daughter has this wonderful woman in her life. She is a terrific mother and grandmother. She's there when she is needed and she's there when she's wanted. There's a difference. She's been through a lot in her life and she always has a sunshine attitude,which is probably why I love her so much. She even takes the time to include me in the little details that go on with my granddaughter's life since I live so far away. She gives my granddaughter extra kisses and hugs and tells her they are from her Grandma Mo. She loves directly from her heart. Which is rare these days.
So I just wanted to write today about this mother-in-law. I don't have any mean jokes, or stories to tell about this mother-in-law. Just pure respect and love for her. I consider her MY mom-in-law. She is the type of woman that if we lived near each other, instead of thousands of miles away, we would be best friends.
Do you have any stories about a mother-in-law? Are you a good mother-in-law or do you have a good mother-in-law? What do you think constitutes being a good mother-in-law? I just know that not only is my daughter blessed with one, so am I. I couldn't have special ordered a better mother-in-law for my daughter if I had tried. And that, my friends, makes me very happy.
