I just wanted to say I have been blessed with a terrific Mother in law. She is very sweet, but she has a strong side to her; thoughout her marriage, her family has gone through a lot of financial situations, their home was burned down, but through it all, she kept her family together, she worked long ours at the family factory to put her son's through Don Bosco's school and so on. I just admire her so much.

You know, I have heard many times a boy will choose a girl that is much like his mother. I think my MIL and I are much a like. She was the tallest of her sisters, so is the same height as me, she has the same shape I have, same complexion...it's like I could be her daughter, I look like her when she was my age. The first time she laid eyes on me, she took my hands and looked at them as if to tell my fortune or something, but she was reading the lines...

A couple of girls had come to meet with her and her husband, but when she finally met me...she wanted me to be her son's wife.

I met her son a couple of times before briefly, but the ultimate \";okay\"; had to come from the parents. I was not so sure why that was, but I was okay with it.

Every morning, together, we go for a walk to the market, this is after we make breakfast together. After that, our maid comes and does the cleaning and cooking for lunch.

No matter what happens, my Mother in law understands me. My husband at times has had tears in his eyes from the joy of seeing his Mother have me as a daughter to her; a daughter she never had.

I wished all could experience this in their lives. I know it's not practical for everyone to have a relationship like this with their MIL.

When my husband and I had our first child, my Mother in law with on one side of the bed by my head, my Husband at the other side. It was a comforting feeling to have them there with me.

Please share your experiences with your In laws with me. I would love to hear them.

God Bless,
