I was close to my mother-in-law. After I divorced, she got cancer again. I asked to see her many times. I never got an answer to my request to go see her.

But my in-laws were angry for divorcing. Fuckers finally allowed me to go to her funeral. Probably so I could be there for my kids.

I held it together until I was chatting with another family friend. Then I totally broke down, ugly crying with sobs.

If I hear tango music, which isn't often, I immediately think of walking into her home and catching her in the kitchen cooking while listening to tangos.

Yeah, I was like one of her kids, without being an actual offspring. I got to crack outrageous jokes and make her laugh.

It's been years. The memories become bittersweet over time. But healing takes time. I hope X starts to heal sooner rather than later.
