An Open Letter To My Mother-In-Law

I love you.

An Open Letter To My Mother-In-Law
Facebook

I just want to start this article by saying that I love you.

I never knew how much I needed an person in my life like you until you came into my life. Your son has turned into one of my best friends and a very special person to me.

Not going to lie, I did not know how you were going to react the first time that your son told you that we were dating and then getting married. You were excited and to this day you tell me how happy you are that I'm your daughter.

You have always been supportive of me and everything that I do. I know there have been times that you have questioned me and what I'm doing, because let's face it, I am little crazy, but you have always told me to keep a smile on my face and I got this.

If someone were to ever ask me what I like most about you, I honestly don't know if I would be able to pick out just one thing. Let's just explore some things about you that make me proud you call you my Mother-In-Law.

Everyday you show me that no matter what has happened in the past, the only thing that matters is the future.

You show me that no matter what happens you will support me. You may not like or approve of some situations I put myself into, but you have always supported me.

Your phone is always open to me. I know that no matter what, I can always text you and you have some words of wisdom for me even if it just a simple "Be strong, I love you"

But, the most important thing in my book, is that you have allowed me to love your son. Not many mothers let a girl into their sons life very easily, but you did. You have opened up your arms to me and accepted me for the type of person I am.

Thank you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
