'She's the closest thing you'll have to a parent you can choose yourself — and she'll love you all the same.'
— the date was Christmas Day, the family was Italian, and there was a massive dinner to be prepared.
My mother-in-law's already done far more for me than I could ever wrap my head around, and certainly more than I could repay in the traditional son-in-law currency of"lifting heavy things" and"grabbing stuff from the top shelf." A mother-in-law can never replace your own mom, and you may never truly be her kid, but she's the closest thing you'll have to a parent you can choose yourself — and she'll love you all the same. And I'm thankful for that.
She's the one who gives you a better sense of where your partner came from, helping you grow closer than ever.
