That story is precious, itself. You are both truly blessed. A lot of women are not so lucky. And that is where I shall stop. Except to say, God Bless and I wish everyone a wonderful valentines day.

It sounds like you both found someone precious.

How very blessed you and your family are. She will treasure your letter forever. You both must be very very 

special.

Your letter will become one of her most treasured keepsakes.  Years ago, my DIL wrote me a similar letter, telling me how much she loved me and thanking me for raising the most wonderful man she married.  I keep it inside my Bible and read it sometimes when I'm a little down or just need a personal pick me  up.  It is priceless.

Aww you are soooo lucky to have such a lovely mil. I envy you. What I wouldn't have done to have my mil just like me. She just died last year (age 91) and never gave me a call, never wrote to me (she lived in AZ, us in MI), never treated me as part of their family. I tried early on in my marriage to always include her and she just never responded. Count your blessing OP, you are very lucky.
