Missing You

It was recently the third anniversary of the death of my mother-in-law. With that in mind, I want to share with you the top ten things I loved about her.

1. Her love and acceptance of me. From the first day I met her, she accepted me. She continued to love me and treat me like her daughter until the day she died.
2. Her love for my children. She loved my girls so much. One of the saddest parts about her being gone is that she is not here to see my girls grow up. I hope she can see them.
3. Her happy disposition. Even when times where hard, she continued to have a positive attitude. That really taught me alot.
4. Her selflessness. She was always willing to put aside her "to do" list to help someone else.
   
5. All of the time she spent helping me when my girls were born. I could not have done it without her.
6. Fun family parties. Nancy always made sure we got together with one another. She was the glue that held us together.
7. The fact that she raised such a wonderful son. I thank her everyday for making my husband the kind of man he is today.
8. Her cooking. I miss yummy chicken, apple crisp, and salad.
9. Her gardening advice.
10. Her voice. It was the voice that boisterously welcomed you to her home, shouted with joy and the birth of my girls, and gave me advice when I needed it most.

I love you Nanc. And, I miss you everyday.
