Mothers-in-law (mother-in-laws?) traditionally get a bad rap (I looked that up to see if it is "rap" or "rep"...and the answer was the former)...and are so often figure of derision and scorn. Since I AM one, and I hope not the cartoonish sort, it was lovely to read this. Ironically, I am also the mother-in-law of my son's widow. It is such a monumental thing to have in common, that loss of someone we both loved. Thanks for sharing your memories of Danuta.
Thank you for reading! I feel like there aren't enough stories out there about the beautiful power of a mother-in-law. I'm glad this piece could contribute something positive.
This had me in tears by the end. To Danuta!

What a divine couch! Wish I had one. This made me think of my father whom I miss with equal intensity each day. xo
And it's really comfortable. I've grown to love it.

Love,
Nina
