Sixty-three years ago today, at the age of nearly forty-six my mother-in-law laboured to give birth to her fourth child. She wasn’t very pleased to be having a child at her age, especially as she thought that she’d had the last one ten years previously. And just to make matters worse the ill-timed arrival of my husband meant that she missed her Sunday dinner, something she was fond of complaining about. An unplanned pregnancy; she told me how much she hadn’t wanted him, and how glad she was that she had him. And who wouldn’t be glad to have such a lovely son? I couldn’t understand why he loved her so much, and wanted to spend time with her when he could have hurried home to me. It was only when I had a son of my own who loved me as much as his father had loved his mother that I understood.

Hi, another year has rolled round then, a poignant day for you I guess. I imagine your Mother in law certainly got a surprise when she realised she was having a "bonus" baby at the age of 46! especially all those years ago, when childbirth was a much riskier practice than it is today. I agree though, men who have the capacity to love their mothers so well, tend to do the same for their spouse. It is also a good feeling to be a "well loved" Mother, so, as the saying goes, everything that goes around comes around!.
Best wishes MSS
