Thanks Librastar,

My mother-in-law was a strong willed woman,under the circumstances of her life she had to be.

We did not always see eye to eye.
She was the type of person, that if i did not want my kids to have something, she would give it to them anyway.
She always felt she knew better.

I completely understand, b/c i have looked back on it so often and tried to figure it out.

Even tho' it did not seem like it, I know she was always there for me.
IN an odd sort of way, but i guess it was the only way she knew how to be there for me.

It could have been in the choices of what i was always thinking.
I had some pretty nasty thoughts about somebody.
I was always the person who used to say that you should not think that way about anyone b/c it could come back to haunt you.

Since this illness is still here. I now am looking at this person in a totally different light.
I feel more loving and understanding towards them.

I do have that gut instinct that I will overcome this and i have definitely learned a lesson from it.

Thank you for taking the time to do this, not only for me but for everyone else.
I wish you great success with this gift and i hope that you will be able to help many people with it.

Take care
elly
