I’m proud to announce that I’ve started guest blogging for Jersey Moms Blog and my first entry titled “I Wish You Wrinkles – A Perspective on Aging” published today. I hope it serves as a reminder that time, all time, is a blessing. And though she’s going to be annoyed with me for this because she hates attention, I dedicate that entry to one of my super heroines, my mother-in-law. I’ll explain of course…
Our family recently lost our top, top superhero. It’s still hard to believe that my father-in-law lost his battle against cancer. After all, we never expect that our heroes won’t be around to fight the next battle. He held on longer than any doctor expected, and I believe that he drew all that energy and will from his special sources of life – his wife, and the sons they raised together. It’s hard to recognize our own strengths sometimes. But through all of this my mom-in-law’s superpower emerged – amazing bravery. She got her family through its darkest time quietly, selflessly and with great courage. like a true superhero.
And so I dedicate this article on Jersey Moms Blog to her. I know, mothers-in-law are supposed to be our villains, but that isn’t the case in my family. At least not unless she’s disguising herself as a nice mom-in-law… now THAT would be a villain power many would envy even more than her bravery!
