My sister-in-law received a diamond necklace, while my mother-in-law gave me plastic earrings.
The hideous earrings were part of a long-standing family tradition that held a secret key. The key from the earrings unlocked a little chest in my mother-in-law’s dusty basement, revealing vintage gold jewelry and an old diary that belonged to my husband’s great-grandmother.
The jewelry was a priceless family heirloom that had been passed down through the years, and the diary described her experience as an immigrant. This insight changed the way I understood. The plastic earrings were a part of a long-standing family tradition rather than an arbitrary gift.
The duty of upholding the family legacy constituted the real gift. My sister-in-law received a diamond necklace as a clever diversion that concealed the underlying tradition until the appropriate moment.
She was very friendly, and we laughed along at this unexpected development. This tragedy strengthened my relationship with my husband’s family and made me appreciate my mother-in-law even more as the keeper of a long-standing family custom.
It made me realize the value of modesty, reverence for the past, and the special bonds that families have through customs.
