The first time I met you, it didn't even occur to me if we are going to get Along well or not. They said that mothers-in-law are the hardest to deal with But at the time, all I Cared for was "our" dear Kevy boy! It Didn't Even matter when you said you were 80 coz I believed it anyways! Four years later, here you are the same woman I met. I can't remember the exact time but I heard on the Grapevine that you only turned 80 just recently. I can't even remember anymore what old you are today because you claimed that now you are 90! OH well! for me, you are still the most amazing, Inspiring woman in her 80's I know. You're full of Jazz and your life full of excitement! Everyday is a scheduled activity for you. Monday is your Bingo day where you meet with folKs who can shout Bingo into your ears; Tuesdays are Gym days, where some good men wait for their turn to taLk to you while you work your way up to 30 Minutes on the treadmill. Wednesdays, are your Seniors talk which you have grown to like because it keeps you well iNformed. Thursdays, you're back to the gym for more jaw-work and an hour on the treadmill with some weights. Friday used to be painting with Janet but since she mOved to Victoria, you somehow found another painting Partner, or a free day for you in the garden. I also remember that you found a sweet friend who bakes so well and Quenches your thirst with a cup of tea at her own place. Saturdays used to be lunch with Janet but now you have another fRee day to tend to your beloved garden which you keep so well. You did mention that you will give up gardening but I guess the smell of the Soil is so irresistible for you to stop. On Sundays, you make sure that Buba is up and ready with your share of cup of coffee. You love to lisTen to his stories but above all, you love to share your own although we heard most of it from the daily evening calls we make each other before your bed time. Did I mention that you love to call it a night at 8pm? Although, sometimes you prefer to lay in bed before that. Undeniably, I would say this is why you stay healthy and strong. Can you imagine how many Vivacious women at your age can do all these? Tell me you're not old because age is only a frame of mind. I refuse to believe that you are 80 or 90 because you are like a superWoman to me. The eXtraordinary touch you put into our lives will always inspire us. And I am so very grateful I met such a woman Young at heart, Zany and proud to say that she's my mother-in-law!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MOM!

Nancy, that is beautiful. I couldn't have expressed that better myself. Mom is truly an inspiration for us. They say you are only as old as you feel, therefore she is still pretty young. I so admire her inner strength and love of life and people.
And Nancy, you have been like a little angel that has come into our family. So precious!!
Good night. Sweet dreams.
xo Love Linda
Thank-you so much Little One.When you came into our life I was so happy for not only BaBa but the family as well. I think of you more like a daughter( forget the in-law)I always remember the first time you walked into our house. I knew then when I looked at Kevin with sparklers in his eyes that you would become my daughter and you are so very precious to us.
Love mom xoxo
I like what you've done with the prompt. It's so nice to see a good relationship between in-laws. =)
