And Now I See The Moon

Ethels Birthday!

As mother-in-laws go, I know you are the very FINEST!!
I work hard to try and emulate you in my relationships with my beautiful daughter-in-laws. I know I have a long ways to go. Someday.........
All I can say is THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for raising the most amazing man (he's so very much like you) and his siblings.
Thank you for loving me- in ALL my many imperfections.
Thank you for having such amazing strength and faith. I can hardly imagine how many times you must have wanted to voice your opinion and share your vast wisdom to the likes of me, when instead, you bit your tongue and said nothing. You let me go along my merry way and learn as I should. Bless you!! ( I wonder how many times you may have wished that your son hadn't fallen for a California girl??!!)
I love and admire you GREATLY! Im so grateful to be learning so much from you and your quiet example.
Have a wonderful, wonderful birthday!

Happy birthday mom! I love and admire you too.
Cindy, I don't know what you are talking about when you wonder about Bob marrying a California girl. You are just the woman for him, a great wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend to all of us. Love you.
