TJ1911 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 My wife's mom passed away tonight at the age of 89. She'd been in declining health after falling and breaking her hip 3 years ago. Her passing was not unexpected, but still hard. My wife and her brother spent a tremendous amount of time caring for her-my brother-in-law, who is retired, visited her at the care facility every day of the week, and fed her lunch. My wife would stop by on the way home from work, and help her with dinner. She also went over for lunch and dinner on the weekends, so her brother could go home to his wife. She was not the stereotypical "mother-in-law"; always kind and respectful to me. My wife jokes that "I think Mom likes you better than me." Another member of the "Greatest Generation" is gone.
