Mother-in-Law’s Redemption

My mother-in-law gave me an old antique sewing machine for my birthday. My husband laughed, but I adored it. Five years later, he left me for a younger mistress. A lawyer by trade, he took our car and apartment in the divorce.

When my mother-in-law heard about it, she called and invited me over. In a quiet moment, she confided that the sewing machine held a secret: real diamonds, hidden inside by her grandmother. She apologized for her son’s behavior and asked me to live with her.

And here’s the incredible part: we sold the diamonds, moved to France, and bought a house with the proceeds. She’s a truly marvelous woman.
