That also meant that my family at home was being "neglected". Hubby and the girl were so amazing about it. They knew I needed to do this, not just for Nana, but for me, and were super supportive.
This also meant I was neglecting other people in my life.
(who are also totally supportive and understanding)
Mother's Day came and went in a blur. My mother had left to fly home the day before, so we spent that day just trying to regain a little "normal" in our lives.
We did give my Mother in Law a call, but, that is about it.
So, here I am, a week later making a brunch.
We are having my MIL, Hubby's Aunt S, Sis in law and her hubby D, and D's mom over today.
I am so, so, so excited!
When I broached the idea, they all argued with me about it. A whole lot of "You just went through so much, wait some more time" or "No, let's go out instead, you don't need the work!"
Thankfully they all eventually realized this is something I needed to do.
It's like my apology to them.
I love my family, and my in laws are FAMILY, there is no distinction between the two.
They are always there for me when I need them, and I try to always be there for them.
They were always OK with me breaking plans, or not attending functions due to my other needs.
I am always grateful for the amazing family I was born into and the just as amazing family I married into.
Wish all were so lucky.
