Larissa has always treasured her bond with Julia, her mother-in-law, who greeted her with open arms when she joined the family. Even at her advanced age, Julia was active and engaged, frequently offering assistance around Larissa and Toby’s house.
When Larissa and Toby had trouble getting pregnant, Julia gave her advice and encouragement, offering different solutions to increase their chances of getting pregnant. Julia eventually gave them a new mattress as a gift, thinking that it might help with their fertility, after trying unsuccessfully for months.

Everyone was taken aback when Larissa quickly revealed she was expecting, and they happily welcomed their daughter Maddie into the world. Larissa was comforted and supported by Julia’s presence at this difficult time, particularly when her own parents were far away.
