Welcome back!!! I'm so glad to hear that your MIL is doing better.
I understand about in-laws...it really can get so complicated! I know I've only been married for three years, but Brendon has a sister who's really not a very nice person and that has made dealing with his family very difficult at times. (She got married and divorced within ONE MONTH, got pregnant the night she met her little boy's dad--not the guy she was married to, left Brendon stranded in TN once when she was supposed to drive him to PA, etc, etc, etc...) She likes to try to create drama and started yelling at me for no reason once at the dinner table in front of his whole family! Luckily, Bren AND his mother stood up for me because I was just shocked and so embarrassed I wouldn't have been able to say a word... I just love most of his family (though they all have flaws, but that's just human nature), but this one sister I try to avoid at all costs. Anyway, that being said, I think you ARE a good daughter-in-law for still putting so much time and effort not only into being nice to your MIL, but by going above and beyond the call of duty despite your differences. That's really amazing. If only we couldn't all be more like you and treat even those we disagree with or dislike with a bit more respect the world would be a better place.

I'm glad you made it back safely Diana.
I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, and will pray for you. My dad and FIL died suddenly and unexpectedly within weeks of each other in the fall of '91, so we have just our mothers left. Mine is in very good shape while Gregs has some blood pressure issues but does pretty well otherwise. So we've not had to deal with this yet, but I imagine our time is coming too. It's SO hard to watch parents going downhill but it's almost to be expected I guess. I don't know which is worse... to lose them in a heartbeat, or watch them fade slowly. Neither is good.
