“This time I was making fun, showing what she expected in a daughter in law, (someone to cook, clean, and rub her feet every night. ) But instead she got me and is stuck with me,” Grey-Yadav posted.
She continued, “We had a good laugh. And we always do about the language barriers and cultural differences. Our relationship has made me realize laughter is the biggest connector of all.”
The founder ended her note with a few lines that read, “It shows someone’s heart. It shows lightness. She’s my spirit twin.”
