My mother-in-law passed away after a very long illness and my hubby was in Peru on business, so I had to go boss my father-in law and brother-in-law around because... well, because it was my duty and privilege.
Today's project is in memory of my dear mother-in-law.
Her kitchen was always yellow and her radio was always on.
Her wine was always poured and her cigarette was always lit.
Her heart was always open and her husband always adored her.
She lived her life exactly the way she wanted for as long as she could.
She loved to go dancing.
She loved the Dallas Cowboys.
She loved her pets.
She loved her family.
She will be missed.
