When people hear the word "Mother-in-Law," sometimes they cringe and get an awful representation in their mind. Sometimes the word "Mother-in-Law" turns into the word "Monster-in-Law" but for me, that's not the case. All jokes aside, I owe a lot to my future Mother-in-Law.

We all have that one person who we owe a lot to, for most of us it is our parents (and that is definitely true for me, I couldn't be the person I am today without them), but often times we owe a lot to the person who raised our significant others.

First of all, I am so glad that you have been brought into my life. I had no idea the first time I met you that you would become so involved in my life. I had no idea that I would be asking you for advice and looking up to you as much as I do now.

I am so thankful for all the things you have done to raise your son to the man he has become. I know him so I am sure it wasn't always easy by any means, but I am glad you stuck to your guns and taught him everything. He is so respectful, honest, witty, and caring and I know these are all the qualities that came from you. I mean, after all, if a man treats his woman like a princess, it is proof he was raised by a queen.

I know I wouldn't be half the young woman I am today if it wasn't for your guidance along the way. You have helped me out in more ways than one, you have given me some great laughs, and you have allowed me to instantly be one of your "kids" and for that I thank you.

I am so fortunate to have a great mother and a great mother-in-law. Looking to the future, I am sure my children will be spoiled by their grandparents and showered with love. I can only hope that when my children have children, someone will feel the same way I feel about you. I am so blessed to have you (and your son) in my life. I feel like I have said it a thousand times and I am sure I will say it a thousand more, thank you for all that you have done for me.

And above all, thank you for raising the man of my dreams.
