97Hope, good to meet you and thank you so much for your kindness in stopping by. It meant a lot to me that a new friend was up in arms on my behalf -- especially because sometimes we standers get confused and forget that it's not about us. It sure helps sooth the sound have a stranger express that level of surprise at my MIL's hard heart.

I took a look at your thread and will visit soon with a thought or too.

Thank you!!!!

I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage.
Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
