Just got back from taking H's mother out for the afternoon. Mother has early stages of dementia and moved into a senior citizens apartment building 2 weeks ago. She has really enjoyed my visits over the past 6 months, since H allowed me to see her again, and H appreciates these too. AoS is one of H's LL. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day here today. I took MIL to a dog park for 1 1/2 hours. Lots of small dogs running around in the sun. We both enjoyed it! Then I bought her dinner and brought her back to my house to visit with cat.
I have never brought up D with MIL. Aside from DB principles, it didn't make sense to talk to her about this because MIL has trouble remembering what was said 5 minutes before. Tonight over dinner and out of the blue MIL brought up the D and asked why H and I are getting a D? (This was quite surprising.) I said that I didn't know why her son was D'ing me since I had left my busy job many months ago. Told MIL she would have to ask her son. Told her that her son was the love of my life......She most likely won't remember any of this conversation but will probably remember the dog park.
