HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KD

It is DIL birthday today,

Finally the age of BB. A mere 28.

How can I word what the mother of my grand babies

mean to me? Almost like being a grandma, 

no words are good enough to explain.

MY DEAR KD,

THE WORD DAUGHTER IN LAW

SOUNDS SO COLD EXPLAINING WHAT YOU

ARE TO ME, SO GENERIC.

BECAUSE WHEN MY SON INTRODUCED

YOU TO ME, I KNEW WE WOULD BE FRIENDS.

THEN YOU BECAME HIS WIFE AND WE

BECAME EVEN CLOSER. I TEASE BB

OFTEN TELLING HIM HE BETTER MAKE

Y'ALL MARRIAGE WORK BECAUSE

YOU WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE

MY DAUGHTER IN LAW.

THEN, THEN YOU BECAME THE MOTHER

TO MY SWEET BEAN.

I WATCH YOU WITH HER AND I 

SILENTLY THINK HOW LUCKY BEAN IS

THAT YOU ARE HER MOTHER.

BEAN BECOMES GROUNDED WHEN SHE

IS AROUND YOU.  YOUR ENDLESS AND

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR HER MAKES

FOR ONE HAPPY AND LOVED LITTLE GIRL.

YOU KEEP MY DEAR SON GROUNDED ALSO.

NEVER AFRAID TO SPEAK YOUR PEACE,

BUT ALWAYS SO LOVING TO HIM.

OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, I SOMETIMES

WORRY IF I AM BURDENING YOU AS YOU

ARE 8 MONTHS PREGNANT BUT NEVER DO

YOU COMPLAIN. THEN THERE IS OUR SWEET 

JOLEE, WHO DOES NOT HAVE A BLOG NAME

AS OF YET. HOW YOU CARE FOR YOURSELF

IN ORDER TO ASSURE SHE IS ONE HEALTHY 

LITTLE BABY. I KNOW I PROBABLY SAY THIS

EVERY TIME I WRITE YOU A LOVE LETTER

OR BLOG ABOUT YOU, BUT IT IS WORTH SAYING

ONE MORE TIME,

I COULD NOT HAVE PICKED A BETTER WIFE 

FOR MY BB THAN HE DID.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY SWEET KD.

HOPE TO SHARE MANY MORE WITH YOU.

LOVE, MUMSIE
