Today was just like any other Sunday morning other than it was mothers day and the girls (my late wife's sisters) were coming over for coffee and bagels. We have been doing this for some time and they know I drerss. So this morning I was wearing a black leather mini with a red top and sandels, I had the the coffee on and the kitchen straightened up. As we got settled we talked about many things and the out of the blue Helen says "I was thinking and you are not so much my brother-in-law but my sister". Tears welled up and I said thank you because I think of myself as their sister more than an odd brother-in-law. We all laughed and then started to plan an outing/camping adventure for later this summer.
I know from different posts there are many sisters who have simular moments and although I kinda knew they felt that way it was still nice to hear it.
