Jess Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 So, today is my one year and I was going to work on a post with reflections of my experience today. Then I got sidetracked with laughter. My MIL posted a comment to a picture I had posted commemorating the day. Her posts are often riddled with typos and difficult to understand, but this one is just... wow. Her grammar is pretty good for her, but her recognition of auto-correct changing my name? Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelerswife Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 What a mess, Jess. I'm sorry. You deserved more. Hugs, Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedroses Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 If my mother tried to type something on a computer (she adamantly refuses to touch one and since she's 83 we don't argue) it would look very much like that. "Mess" or not, I got a warm feeling that she knew how important you were to your DH - and it made me smile. (Autocorrect is not always your friend!) BTW, in my part of the world usually if you say somebody's "such a mess" with a smile and a little headshake, that's a quirky complement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjs1989 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Haaa, that is really funny and cute. She definitely cares about you; that's obvious and heartwarming. She starts out okay for the most part, but then it goes downhill from there! Kind of reminds me of a birthday card I remember, where the writer is having a drink or two in honor of the recipient's birthday, but the writing and grammar quickly disintegrate as he continues to express his birthday wishes while imbibing!

Ginger Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 ((((Jess)))) Many hugs go out to you today. I'm glad you were able to see the humor on your MIL's lack of proofreading. It is obvious that she cared deeply for your husband and for you and what you brought to his life. You made him happy and that is always nice to hear, no matter how many typos there are in her message and how bittersweet it feels. Ginger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 When I made your attachment larger it had your name as Jess. I'm assuming she put Mess instead? Sorry about that. It sounds like her heart was in the right place though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaP Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Well, at least she got it right on the first reference. Oh well. They say "It's the thought that counts." Take it for what it's worth. The sentiment was very nice And, well, frankly, speaking for myself, we wids are a mess... so, there is a speck of truth to that... HUGS, Mess!
