Once, my sister-in-law said she shook my two-year-old son in anger...I didn't see it, but it saddened me to hear that (he was fine btw). That's not how I want to remember her. For the most part she was very sweet. I mostly think of her sweetness when I think of her, but that incident left a stain. It makes me sad.Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608446475815606649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-57372214614834487712012-02-05T19:18:17.799-05:002012-02-05T19:18:17.799-05:00Hang in there Syd.

It helps me to realize how little I can influence what happens and to just let go and live the good moments to the extreme and let the bad times fade.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-9654858388038055232012-02-05T18:19:00.672-05:002012-02-05T18:19:00.672-05:00So good to hear that things are calmer, and that y...So good to hear that things are calmer, and that you took the opportunity in the midst of the calm to make it right with your FIL.
