He Tried To Honor His Late Wife By Repurposing Her Maternity Gown For His Daughter To Wear On Her First Birthday, But His Mother-In-Law Accused Him Of Destroying The Dress

So, he remembered how his wife had worn a gorgeous dark green gown during her maternity photo shoots. And while she reportedly looked radiant in the dress, she never got the chance to wear it again afterward.

“The gown was left forgotten there with her entire pile of clothes after her death. I didn’t want to go through her stuff since it would have been too much for me,” he explained.

But his wife did tell him that she wanted their daughter to wear it one day. So, that statement was what motivated him to go through his wife’s closet before his daughter’s first birthday.

Then, he decided to cut up the green maternity gown to make a little frock for his daughter.

“And my daughter looked absolutely adorable in it. That color suits my daughter just as it did my wife,” he said.

That’s why he opted to dress his daughter in the gown for her birthday party. But, after his mother-in-law saw his daughter, she immediately realized the dress was his wife’s.

Then, his mother-in-law burst into tears, pulled him aside, and asked why he “destroyed” his wife’s dress.

He tried to explain what his wife had said about wanting their daughter to wear the gown one day, too. However, his mother-in-law believed he interpreted the situation wrong.

More specifically, his mother-in-law pointed out how his wife meant that his daughter would wear the dress once she was old enough to fit into the unaltered gown.

On top of that, his mother-in-law claimed his wife likely said that while assuming she would still be alive to see her daughter in the dress.

But, since his wife passed, his mother-in-law said that negated everything that was said. Finally, her mother-in-law told him that the dress held a special memory of his wife, which no longer exists anymore because of what he did.
