She is a faithful reader of this blog...God bless her.
She has never left a comment.
But that's alright.
She tells me what she thinks via e-mails.
Born in Cuba, her children call her Mami, the grandkids, Abuela.
Her name is Ruth.
And she raised seven marvelous children.
And I was fortunate enough
to marry her middle child
Mr. Twig, ever at her side.
This Mother's Day, I want to honor my favorite follower of all,
my Mother-in- Law Love, Ruth.
(Our wedding day, 2007)
Your family loves you.
Your children love you.
Your son loves you.
And I love you.
Happy Mother's Day!
What a beautiful tribute to your mother-in-law!

Hi Anne, My mother too is from Cuba..We call her Mami and my father is Papi... they actually call each other that also...I did a tribute to my mom not too long ago..and though she does not read my blog she was very touched by that blog whichspoke of what she meant to me...I think your mother(inlaw) will treasure this post!
ReplyDeleteMarlene xo
I'm so jealous. I always wanted in-laws that would want to be a part of our family. Happy Mother's Day Mami!
ReplyDeleteOk. This almost made me break down and sob. Beautiful post. Terrific images. I hope she knows how lucky she is to have a relationship like this with her daughter in law. Although based on what you've said, I absolutely suspect she does...
