The night before her wedding, our beautiful daughter brought me tulips. They're my favorite flower ever, and they were even before I read Welcome To Holland. The poem just made them even more special. She even picked yellow, which has always been my favorite color.We put them in a pitcher my parents gave me years ago. They looked perfect together.
She said she wanted us to know she'd always be our little girl. :::sniff:::
The following morning, the doorbell rang. There was a delivery for both me and my husband.
I have to say that I really do adore Children of the Inner Light.
I have quite the collection of mugs and large vases thanks to our oldest. She and her new husband added to that collection with these:
Hopefully, we can do better than the stereotypical in-laws.
I know we'll give it our best shot, and we hope he feels welcome and part of the family. I know we're up to the challenge!
That is sooo sweet! You'll do fine as a mother-in-law as long as you think before you say anything, and decide what is more important, having a good relationship or telling them what to do. You already know the answer and will be great!
