My mother-in-law, Evelyn, has always been a thorn in my side, even suggesting my husband Caleb divorce me. For her birthday, I decided it was time she faced the consequences of her actions.
Evelyn’s previous antics included giving me a hideous cat sweater at Christmas and sabotaging our wedding caterer. On her birthday, I organized a grand party with a stunning venue and hired the caterer who saved our wedding, Isabella.
The real surprise was a video featuring people Evelyn had wronged over the years. “This is a tribute from those who know and love you,” I said as the video began. It showcased stories of Evelyn’s past misdeeds, ending with Linda’s painful recount of an old betrayal.
The room fell silent. Evelyn, in tears, apologized for her jealousy and bitterness. “I want to make things right,” she said. Over time, Evelyn worked to improve her relationships, and our lives became more peaceful.
That’s how Evelyn learned the ultimate lesson in karma.
