[quote=Anonymous]My little cousin - then 17 - was diagnosed with thyroid cancer which had spread to her lymph nodes a few years ago. It would have been my MIL's Christmas but as we didn't know if my cousin would have another Christmas we spent the day with my family. Yes, MIL complained and whined a bit. But I have to admit that I really didn't care. There are other holidays - we spent Easter with MIL instead, as Easter is more important to her than to my family and my cousin was considered stable by then - and today I don't even think MIL remembers any more (if she did, she wouldn't have shut up about it). My cousin is fine now but had it been her last Christmas, which was a possibility back then, I would not have wanted to miss it. On the other hand, if anyone on DH's side of the family was diagnosed with something that might be fatal, we'd spend the next holiday with them no matter what.[/quote]
