52. Don't worry about your daughter-in-law. My mother came from another country she had

4 little kids close in age. My twin sister and I have a brother 2 yrs older than us and a sister 2 yrs younger than us. Picture this back in the day where military families didn't fly much. My dad had gone to the Philippines and he was waiting for us to come over. We were living with my dad's family and my mother couldn't speak english well yet. My 6 yr old brother at the time would interpret for her. We travelled back then by train from PA all the way to CA then we had to board a ship that took us to the Philippines. We made it. Your daughter-in-law will make it also. Yes it use to be very interesting at our dinner tables. In fact when my parents retired we moved where there were retired military families. My goodness the fun we would have during the holidays. We could always depend on the neighbors coming over because my mother was an excellent Italian cook. You know many people love Italian food. In my house it wasn't any different. You son will remember the good times when he gets out. He is already ahead having that support system.
