A One of a kind Love Between a Mother-In-Law & Daughter-In-Law.
A year ago today I lost my dear sweet Mother-In-Law, Granny Sylvia. We had a special bond & I was more like a daughter than Daughter-In-Law & she was like another Mom to me. She was not only family, but she was my friend, my confidante, my advisor & a listening ear and shoulder to lean on after a hard day & during the rough patches of life. We loved, respected and treasured each other. I loved to spoil her & she loved to be spoiled in every way., especially on Mother’s Day, her Birthday & on Holidays or really just any day of the week. I treasured our time together like trips to Don’s for Bloody Mary’s & Chargrilled oysters, going on shopping trips and of course, the casino was her favorite. Lol. She was always ready to go anywhere especially if it was an invitation to a restaurant or to our house for steaks, BBQ chicken or crawfish. We miss her smile & the joking & laughter that filled our hearts & homes when she was there. I miss talking to her in the mornings and evenings while traveling to and from my destination. I absolutely loved her
in every way. We both had our faults and failures, just as we all do, but we saw the Best in each other and loved each other wholeheartedly despite each other’s imperfections. That’s the kind of relationship my Mother-In-Law and all Mother-In-Laws deserve…,,,,,One of Love, Respect,& Honor, loving them with a kind & compassionate heart & showing them the heart of Jesus. Following the Golden Rule “ Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. I miss Gran’s hugs that seemed to make everything better. I miss her smile. I miss her laugh. Most of all I miss my Mother-In-Law & my friend that I loved so dearly & who loved me so dearly. If you are a Daughter-In-Law and you are reading my story, please take note of this. If you are so lucky to have a Mother-In-Law who loves you like a Daughter or tries her best to love you like a daughter, love her like a Mom and you will have a love like no other. Relationships are hard and people come from different backgrounds, but with love, honor & respect, showing the heart of God to others through love, kindness & compassion, & thinking of others needs before yourself, you will be blessed beyond measure. Mother-In-Laws are not the enemy, but are advocates for their children and Daughter/Son-In-Laws as well. They want the Best for them and will go the extra mile to make your life easier by helping in any way. So if I’ve inspired you today to extend love to your Daughter or Son-InLaw and/or to your Mother-In-Law by the story of the love between my Mother-In-Law and I,, I’ve accomplished my goal of inspiring you to develop a relationship like no other that will bless you beyond measure. Yes, our relationship was unique & is rarely found between Daughter-In-Laws and Mother-In-Laws, but with Love, Kindness & Respect, you can have a unique relationship just like ours. .
In loving Memory of our sweet Granny Sylvia. We sure do miss you Gran ❤️😇🤗😘
