I have a fab DIL. She met my eldest son just after her mum died and my marriage had split up. They became sole mates and comforted each other with their own problems. My son did not take too well to me leaving my marriage, but it was my DIL who persuaded him to attend my wedding reception when I remarried a few years later. She told him "you only have one mum, so make the most of her". She won an instant place in my heart!!

We get on very well, especially since she has now given me 2 beautiful granddaughters, whom I idolise. I give them all alot of help and in a way, am her substitute mum, but also a friend.

She is the daughter I never had!
