To My Sweet, Beautiful Mother-in-Love,
I’ve been trying to find the words, but the truth is, there will never be enough to capture what you meant to me. This is so painful to post. You weren’t just my mother-in-law—you were my person. My best friend. My safe space. My second mom. From the very first time I met you, I knew in my heart we were going to be tied together forever. There was just something about you—your warmth, your light—that made me feel instantly loved and deeply known.
You were truly one of the most beautiful souls I’ve ever encountered. Gentle. Kind. Full of grace. You had this gift of making everyone feel seen, heard, and cared for—and you did it without even trying. Just by being you. I learned so much from simply being near you: how to carry yourself with quiet strength, how to lead with love, how to walk through life with God at the center of it all.
I’m endlessly thankful to you—for so much. But most of all, for raising the man I love. Thank you for giving this world your son—my husband. You shaped him into the incredible man, father, and partner he is. I see you in him every single day. In his patience. In his tenderness. In the way he loves our girls. You live in him, and through him, and it is one of the greatest honors of my life to be part of that legacy.
You were the most amazing grandmother to our daughters. They adored you—and you adored them right back with a love that was so pure, so joyful, so full. It breaks my heart that they won’t grow up with you physically here, but I promise you, they will know you. I will talk about you every day. I will tell them stories of your kindness, your laugh, your faith, your strength. I will make sure they grow up knowing how deeply they were loved by you.
Losing you has left a hole in my heart that nothing can fill. But I will carry you with me—in my heart, in my home, in how I love others, in how I raise my girls. Your legacy lives on, and I promise I’ll do everything I can to honor it, every single day.
There’s so much more I can say. I miss you more than I can put into words. I love you endlessly. I always will. 💔🕊️
