Flipperjo, that is awesome. I believe that when a person is mentally or physically not with it, their soul is - and is nourished when they have communication from us.

When I have a loved one who is not mentally there, for instance someone who is dying and is in a drug induced coma, I still talk to them as if they were consious. I think their soul hears and is comforted.

So regardless of your MIL mental state, the real woman inside understands your love. I'm glad she was able to tell you how she feels about you - she is sure fortunate to have you for a DIL.
