TO MY MOTHER-IN-LAW

I want to thank you for giving me your child to have and to hold,
You were a wonderful mother, so I am told.
I know it must have been hard for you,
Looking at your child and I joining our lives
As you sat in that pew.

I want you to know that you haven't lost one child,
But have gained another.

I want you to know;
Your child has become,
My Life
My Joy
My Inspiration
My Soul Mate
and this is all because of you.
You have given me so much.
My life and heart you have deeply touched.

Please accept my thanks to you for all you have given,
And continue to give our lives.

I am proud to call you my MOTHER-in-law.
I hope that I do things to make you stand tall.
I hope I can be a person to be proud of,
And to have as another child you can call family.

I promise to love your child with as much love as you have, through their life,
I will try to never cause strife.

Thank you again for this
Wonderful loving gift, your child.

You have given me a beautiful gift,
To share my whole life with.

I pray to our Lord
To send you a special blessing
For this child you have given me.

Aug. 2000

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

Heather, you are on your way!  What a wonderful way to tell this lady she is so special.  You sound like you know just how lucky you are.  Love your words.  Hugs,  ME

May you have that very special relationship with your mother-in-law many years to come. A wonderful tribute.

For those who believed in me -
I send my love.
