My sister in law will be 75 in September and, although we are quite different, she is the nearest thing I have to a sister.
She is not really into clothes, make-up, perfume or ornament type things. She loves her dog, birdwatching and going for walks
Her husband (DH'S brother) is becoming more and more disabled (and cantankerous!!) with arthritis and is shortly to have an operation which might leave him in a wheelchair. She has given up all her volunteering to look after him so sees few people now. She says her world has shrunk to their house and dog walking.
I ring her often and am trying to make her do something for herself but she can't see the wood for the trees. Her children are hopeless.
She would be embarrassed if I spent a lot on her but i would like to spoil her a bit.
Please help!
