Kara, wasn’t exactly my mother-in-law since my girlfriend, Anne, and I weren’t married at the time, but we lived together and had a child together, so for all practical purposes Kara was my MIL. Anne was from a large family with 8 siblings, including two younger sisters, 12yo and 16yo, and one younger brother, 17yo. Two of her older sisters and one older brother had children of their own, and the remaining brother was single. Her mother was in her early 50’s and had been widowed for about four years.
Anne grew up very Catholic
