Dear MIL

It's been 6 months since you passed and 8 years that I've known you. You always treated me like your own.

You had opinions and I always had mine but you didn't mind when I clashed with you.

You took me in when I had no place to go and instead of being hateful towards my parents, you helped me to try to reconcile with them but still kept me under your wing.

When your son tried to break up with me over something that was crazy right before we got our house, you were my biggest advocate and even helped me get a hotel so I could leave him alone while he thought things thru.

You left too soon

The week that you left, you said you'd hang on if I were pregnant...something you'd ben asking of us for so long. You kept saying I was and I was sure I wasn't...but I was wrong. How come I didn't find out until two days after you left us? Why didn't I take a test earlier? Would you had hung on?

Your grandbaby needs your love and your son isn't done having moments with you.

We miss you so much.

I love you and hope that you are not in pain but selfishly I still want you back here in the comfort of our home so I can help you, craft with you, laugh with you and give you a grandbaby you deserved.

Your son is grieving. I'm greiving and I'm not sure when it'll end, if it'll ever end but I wish you'd come back.

Sincerely,

Your selfish daughter in law
