But one quiet afternoon, I overheard something that changed my perception of her.When Miranda had an accident, fell down the stairs, and broke her leg, I didn&#8217;t hesitate to offer help.She was my daughter-in-law after all. Married to my only child, Richard.It seemed natural to step in while she healed.&#8221;I&#8217;ve got her,&#8221; I told Richard when he started talking about hiring a part-time nurse. &#8220;She&#8217;s family. I&#8217;ll take care of everything.&#8221;He looked uncertain. &#8220;Mom, it&#8217;s going to be a lot. She&#8217;s in a full cast. The bathroom alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I raised you and your father at the same time when he got sick. I think I can handle one pregnant woman with a bum leg.&#8221;I honestly didn&#8217;t mind, since I&#8217;m retired and spend most of my time at home doing nothing important.So, that settled it.Richard&#8217;s job in software consulting often took him out of town during the week, and that month was especially busy.So I moved into their guest room and took over everything \u2014 meals, laundry, sponge baths, medications, late-night cravings, the works.<br>I helped my DIL with everything. I mean, I spoon-fed her when she was too tired to sit up, rubbed her swollen feet, and even helped her brush her teeth on some nights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When my daughter-in-law needed help, I moved in without a second thought \u2014 she was family.
