Yes, Joyce, this is what a good mother-in-law does. She graciously steps aside to allow her son to follow his heart, praying his marriage will be a happy one. I was very grateful for the manner in which my mother-in-law had raised John. Excellent entry for the contest. Wishing you success, dear. Love, Carolyn

A really great aspect for the contest Joyce.. from the daughter in law ..mother in law point of view.. I don't think I ever thanked any of my MIL for their sons ... in my three marriages but they were all awesome in laws to me ..now making moves in glory ..luv..good luck in the contest..
