She must either be incredibly empathic or have had her own experience of "hidden" loss - it is such a thoughtful and important gesture to make.Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524066274559867949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-86721948519895077642010-12-21T21:01:59.075-05:002010-12-21T21:01:59.075-05:00I'm so glad your stepMIL remembers.

Hmmm - neighbours on Boxing Day. I know the feeling of looking forward to something and bracing yourself at the same time. Usually I find that the anticipation is worse than the reality. I hope that's the case for you.<br /><br />Merry Christmas, Loribeth. I'm so glad I found you this year.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-1687783606251648502010-12-21T19:26:53.305-05:002010-12-21T19:26:53.305-05:00that's so nice of your sMIL. do post pics when...that's so nice of your sMIL. do post pics when you get back!<br /><br />have a restorative holidayYa Chunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816837461370619194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-90723234111143100962010-12-21T18:59:02.342-05:002010-12-21T18:59:02.342-05:00What a beautiful thing for your MIL to do.
