I've been thinking a lot about compassion lately. Cultivating compassion for others and yourself can lead to amazing changes. Kudos to both you and Pat for learning to love and appreciate each other.Carolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17484957535473747766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917080169174419514.post-38408753152830789042008-04-06T09:43:00.000-06:002008-04-06T09:43:00.000-06:00awww.. love to all of you!katyotshttp://openid.aol.com/katyotsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917080169174419514.post-36238085637880472552008-04-06T09:42:00.000-06:002008-04-06T09:42:00.000-06:00Wow, what a great story. I also appreciate the grace it took to see your situation for what it was and how you opened the door that was thoroughly shut between the two of you. I am as always in awe of you. My mil is in a word fine, but we aren't ever bad either, maybe I can make more happen there, but if not I am grateful at least for the wonderful son she gave me.Jinnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00654674626352508355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917080169174419514.post-34161718679458970462008-04-06T06:56:00.000-06:002008-04-06T06:56:00.000-06:00i hope i'm smart enough to use that as inspiration. i started off great wil my MIL until i had children. then we hit a slight change in our relationship. not as undesirable as yours but still not where i hope it could be. perhaps i should be the one to do somehting about it....farahttp://www.faldesign.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917080169174419514.post-82696768260632908032008-04-05T08:21:00.000-06:002008-04-05T08:21:00.000-06:00Wow, Wendy, what an amazing DEVINE intervention!!! As tears stream down my face, I do remember a time when things weren't so great for you with your MIL, Pat, who I must say I hardly recognized by her photo. To hear how you both have made it possible (been ready to allow God to work his magic)to see one another as a wonderfully strong connection to Pete, is just heart-warming. Afterall, you both CHOSE Peter, right? That's pretty powerful. A lot has changed in your life these past couple of years and this is surely the icing on the cake in a new chapter of your lives. And how wonderful for Sarah Ruth and Emily Grace to have two loving Grandmas in their lives. I'm sure Pete will thank you from the bottom of his being for finding peace and building a relationship with his mother. Sometimes it takes just one small change on our parts to create change in others. I'm proud of you and wish you peace.Cristynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917080169174419514.post-89177429734349397722008-04-05T08:09:00.000-06:002008-04-05T08:09:00.000-06:00LOVED the story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917080169174419514.post-73076849994693935022008-04-04T13:05:00.000-06:002008-04-04T13:05:00.000-06:00Oh, Wendy, this is such a sweet post. <BR/><BR/>I love my MIL dearly, and she loves me, but that's not to say we haven't had our fair share of "ugly moments" along the way.<BR/><BR/>I'm so thankful for the way God has softened your hearts and restored your relationship. And what a beautiful gift for your husband to see two of the women he loves most love each other!<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you!merhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07169865790593225070noreply@blogger.com
