Beautifully told!

And how fortunate that you were able to enjoy that moment (or any moment) with your mother-in-law!

Classic "in-law" story. This is a beauty!!!!! Short of words, as usual, when I read your stories because you have all of the words!!!!

Just perfect! Though I've never met Anne, I now KNOW her, from just a few of your exquisitely crafted paragraphs. My only criticism is that your writing always leaves me hungry for MORE! Please keep 'em coming!

Again. Absolutely vivid and wonderful.

We all know Anne.

My cousin Yetta wore dark sunglasses and a lime green suit to my daughter's Bat Mitzvah.

And at 85, Yetta's kids, Howard and Lisa flew down to Boca to do a "heel intervention," because Yetta wore her stilettos everywhere.

I've known of Anne since you've known Philip, but now I know Anne. You've captured her with such affection and appreciation. Well done!
