[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - idk why ppl are invalidating you. Yes it’s weird! I assume you would already know if they had a weird contentious relationship. Your dh should call brother and say - hey this is your mom - wtf? [/quote]

Like I said before, it sounds like the OP's brother-in-law that his mother's lived way longer than anyone deserve to live. I think it's impressive that he hasn't the fact that she's his mother blind him from the truth.[/quote]

Longer than anyone deserves to live? Wtf kind of thinking is that? How bizarre. Who are you to decide how long someone deserves to live? [/quote]

I plan on being dead by 75, so I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a 91-year-old to embrace death. Anyway, I think it's about time I reference quote from Natalie Babbitt's classic novel, [i]Tuck Everlasting[/i], spoken by the character Angus Tuck to Winnie Foster.

[i]It's a wheel, Winnie. Everything's a wheel, turning and turning, never stopping. The frogs is part of it, and the bugs, and the fish, and the wood thrush, too. And people. But never the same ones. Always coming in new, always growing and changing, and always moving on. That's the way it's supposed to be. That's the way it is.[/i]

...

[i]And everywhere around us, things is moving and growing and changing. You, for instance. A child now, but someday a woman. And after that, moving on to make room for the new children.[/i]

There's a good reason that this book is so popular and is mandatory reading at some point in most schools. And if you still have any doubt, look no further than the beginning of William Shakespeare's "All the World's a Stage."

[i]All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players,
They have their [b]exits[/b] and entrances[/i]

If this doesn't convince you or anyone else on this thread siding with the OP, I don't know what will.
