Over the last weeks and months I have only managed to put together a few pieces of your changes involving MIL, but enough to tell me you have a lovely, wise woman nearer to you which in itself is a gift when two people take care of balancing their individual and mutual time and needs, which you two seem to have nailed down.

If you'll indulge me for a minute, I'll tell you a story about my MIL and why she and I are so close.</p> <p>My husband was 23 and I was 22 and we were engaged to be married. Young but we'd both been living on our own since we were 18 and we felt ready. My in-laws had always been very accepting of me and we'd gotten along well from day one. One day in March, DH discovered a lump and it was confirmed he had testicular cancer. He went into the hospital a week later to have the testicle removed but during the surgery they were surprised at how large the lump was and had some concerns regarding the cancer spreading. They wanted to slate him two weeks later for additional surgery to check the lymph nodes for malignancy. Sure enough, that second surgery showed every single node as cancerous and we were looking at a long road ahead of us. We had to cancel our wedding one month before the date and the next two years involved other surgeries and many, many cycles of chemotherapy. During that entire time, my MIL and I held each other up, gave each other strength and bonded over our mutual love for the same person. Although I never ever would have wanted those two years to have taken place, it created a very special relationship between myself and my in-laws and I am extremely grateful for that.</p> <p>BTW - we were finally able to get married 3 years after our original date and let me tell you those words "in sickness and in health" had a lot of meaning!</p> <p>Una - hubby only knows what Bakelite is because I go on and on about it all the time - he couldn't forget if he tried! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/look-whats-on-its-way-to-me-thanks-to-my-mil#post-695947 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 23:54:36 +0000 Sveta 695947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the sweetest MIL, Shannon, you lucky duck!
