I work from 8-5 and since I work for my parents they are very understanding with things. With that I am allowed to have and use my cell phone at work. I love having that because any time things happen I can find out quickly and with FMIL in this situation it is so helpful.
This morning I was doing some paperwork and saw my phone was going off (keep it on vibrate) and then saw it was FMIL. Of course I answered it as we are super worried about her right now.
I hear her crying and was immediately concerned then she starts telling me how if I wouldn't have come over last week to check on her and make her go to the doctor then they would have never done those scans and found all of that in her brain. She says I saved her life and that she didn't know what she would do without me. She kept going on and on about how much she loved me and I was such a great addition to their family and I was so special to her. Even though we fight a lot she knows I do it out of love. I just explained I was the daughter she never had (only had 2 boys.)
She also offered to give FI some gas money since we have been going back and forth for her a lot and he has been taking her to a few appointments this week. He has a truck and gas is so expensive so that was such a sweet offer. Then she said that she wasn't sure what but that she wanted to do something really nice for me and told me to think of some things. I honestly have no idea what I would want. Normally I would tell her not to worry about it but she is not going to let this one go. Should I just find something off our registry and tell her we would like that? Or maybe a gift card? She already gave us money for our honeymoon and a gift at the shower.
I just had to share with you ladies how wonderful her words were. It really meant a lot to me.
