Last week they came for a visit (why I haven’t posted recently) and it was wonderful– my MIL cooked for me EVERY night, my FIL cleaned up our front and back yards, fixed a broken closet door, shopped for all of the groceries, and washed both of our cars! AND, they did it all so sweetly and without being asked and in fact kept asking me what more they could do to help! (Aside from “please move in and live with us forever” I couldn’t think of a thing!) They are truly wonderful people with big hearts and generous spirits. I will be lucky if I can live my life the same way, and if I can raise my daughters with their values, too.

I have big shoes to fill!
