For many, mother-in-law-musings have a ring of reality.
But, for me they don’t, I had a perfect mother-in-law.
For the past 10 years I had been her daughter-in-law, we had never had cross words.
My mother-in-law was an example and inspiration to me and my family.
She had much an impact in my life through her own life and through the life of her wonderful SON My Husband.
Mama’s death was the home going of one of God’s most precious Saints, A life marked by unusual selflessness.
From the very beginning, when I first saw mama, I was totally accepted. Mama made me feel right at home treating me like her own daughter not as A daughter in-law.
In fact, I honestly don’t remember ever going through an awkward transition from being a stranger to being the daughter in-law
She welcomed me from the very first day she saw me.
My darling mother-in-law deserves garlands, not wreaths. Praises, not tears. Smiles, not sorrows. Happiness, not sadness.
My Mother-in-law had
great strength
And she was filled with wisdom…
She was my shining example
Of strength and compassion;
Of honour and love.
I was grateful to call her “Mama”
Mama’s compassion for others was so deep!
She treated others with kindness and respect
And many lives were blessed through her Goodness..
But even in grief, we know we are so lucky to have had this loving woman in our lives and, now, in our hearts forever.
Words Alone can’t describe who you are butAm proud to be called your daughter in-law.
Insha Allah I ‘ll become like you to my own future daughter in-law..and I pray for your daughters to have A Mother in-law like you.
I still can’t believe it,but we can not question God. Alhamdulillah for A life well Spent.
May Almighty Allah forgive your Sins and grant you the highest Rank in Jannah Ameen.Miss you Mumcy…
