I want to share my mom with you all,

I found my mom at 29via my husband, my mom is my mil.She has taught me  what  love is...loved me when I was unloveable...She knew I needed unconditional love,no ifs, buts or because you have to.We are as close as can be...My mother has told her own children she doesn't want us,She couldn't love us,I don't know why..I have learned everything ababout life,love faith,kindness and being real from my mil.Every morning I hear her phone call,calling me precious how I have blessed her life, no less...It. Is amazing to be loved like this..I tell her I love her so much,she jokes I love her more than her children, I probably do,they never lived without her,I did..So this weekend is special for me,I thank God everyday for Her and dad.I can't imagine my life,if grace had not been poured out abundantly in it... sending you love and  hugs sweet ladies,MaryAnne

Dear Keeper of the Koi,

I am so happy that you were blessed with the experience of a "mother's love."  Your mother-in-law was fated for you, and you were meant to be one of her children.    

This Mother's Day should be especially beautiful for all of you as you fully realize the deep love she has for and you have for her.  Her children will undoubtedly treasure her even more  this holiday now that they understand your special love for her.  You love her as someone who did not have the natural advantage of a birth mother's love  -- someone who can genuinely appreciate the love from her maternal heart..

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

@Still keeper of the koi  How wonderful that you have been so blessed and what's more, you realize it and give thanks for it.  I, too, was blessed with the most wonderful mother.  We were close, talked daily.  I miss her so much, but give thanks to have been given the gift of a good mother. 

Happy Mother's Day!
