An Open Letter To My Boyfriend's Mom

The word Thank You is not big enough to tell you how thankful I am for you.

To My Boyfriend's Mom,

The word Thank You is not big enough to tell you how thankful I am for you.

Before I first met you, I was scared and nervous to meet the woman who created the guy I have fallen deeply in love with. I asked your son what you were like and so many things went through my head. I wonder if she is going to like me and I wonder what she is going to think of me are a few of many things that I thought.

When I finally met you, you were not what I was expecting at all. You were very sweet and welcoming to me. There are horror stories of boyfriend's mom's harassing and not accepting/welcoming them into their home and family, but you treat me as one of your own.

I want to thank you for involving me in to your home. I know that if I am in a situation, no matter what time, your home is always open to me.

Thank you for involving in your family activities. I love your family as much as they love me. I know I am not blood-related, but you and your family sure do make me feel like I am.

Thank you for telling me the truth, even though I may not want to hear it.

Thank you for trusting me to be with your son. I know how precious he is to you and I am grateful you give me the opportunity to love him.

Thank you for accepting me as I am. You cherish the woman I am, and even though we may have differences, we have many things that are the same that we share.

Thank you for teaching me how to accept and love my son, if I get the opportunity to have a boy, his girlfriend. You have done nothing but loved and cherished me and I will continue from your ways for my future son's girlfriend.

And last but definitely not least, thank you for being a mother to me. You know my situation with my mom and you have stepped in and became a mother to me. We do things together that I am not able to do with my mom, we laugh until we cry sometimes, and shake our heads at some things my boyfriend and your son do :)

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to come into my life and be a mom to me that loves me as much as her son. I know those sound like all over the place topics, but that's how my mind works when writing. And I know this isn't all I should say, but if I wanted to say how I really feel, I would run out of room.

Sincerely,

Your Son's Girlfriend

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.
