I also am blessed with two wonderful daughter-in-laws.  I feel lucky to have these young women in my life.  While it's true that they are funny and smart and a great addition to our family, that's not what makes them such  excellent daughter-in-laws.  What makes all the difference to me is that I can plainly see that they love my sons and grandchildren..  I KNOW that they will always take care of them, love them, provide for them and treat them with respect and kindness.  My daughter in Laws have strength of character that shows me they will always love their families. I feel actual rejoicing about these young women.  My dear beloved sons and grandchildren will always be safe, loved, and happy in there care.  What more could a mother ask  for?

April, that's very beautiful and I'm sure that they feel the same way about you - isn't it beautiful when family members love and trust one another - you are definitely very very blessed to have that kind of family loyalty and unity - may it forever continue! Salud.
That's so sweet. I think your family is very fortunate to have this love and trust.

I hope I will be able to say the same one day.

I am happy to hear that you are blessed to have such amazing daughter-in-laws.

That's wonderful that you love your daughter in laws so much! They are lucky to have you too!

And the grandbabies are just the icing on the cake!!

That is indeed a true blessing, Alison. And how nice for THEM that you recognize this! So many moms aren't loving or kind toward their son's wives!

that is great, thanks for sharing!

I agree with Kimberly, so many mothers are not loving or kind toward their Son's wives. Usually all they want is the acceptance of the man they love's family. Sounds like there are a lot of good people in this family. Sharing the same values. Treating each other as they want to be treated.

You are blessed.

Its great that you feel that way about them. It doesn't always work out that way.
Lynn C. Feb 16, 2008, 7:01pm EST
I am related to one of them so I must say I agree that she is great. She has to be since she is my sister.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice of you, April!

That is wonderful. The stereotype of mother to daughter-in-law friction often isn't true. You are blessed.

It is comforting to know that family members married well. No, you're right--it is a blessing.

Very nice! I just wanted to add that you are doing a super job as a virtual book host :)
