Truth be told, I never thought that I would miss my mother-in-law as much as I miss her now. My wifes family has taught me what it feels to be loved with actions and words. The holidays is big for them as well as the birthdays. I need that in my life because I never had that with my family.
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:27-28
