My 70-year-old mother-in-law is getting married. She met a man in her nursing home, and now they’re throwing this big wedding. I mean, at her age, it seems a bit… much, right? Shouldn’t she be focusing on her grandkids instead of pretending to be a bride?
I was annoyed, thinking she was making a fool of herself, but then my husband sat me down. He told me that the man she’s marrying isn’t just a random nursing home fling. He’s actually her first love-the one she was forced to
leave behind when she got married decades ago. They’d reconnected, and this wedding was their second chance at happiness.
I didn’t know what to say. It wasn’t just some silly whim; it was a love story that had spanned a lifetime. I realized I had been judging too quickly. What should I do now?
