Thank you for choosing
to come into our family
and for choosing my son
as your life-mate.
Thank you for bringing
into our family
the special qualities
that only you possess:
your charm, intelligence,
energy, and love.
Thank you for being a confidante,
soul-mate, and friend,
for the cozy chats
and shared laughter and tears.
Thank you for your continued
kindness, acceptance,
and support --
both intellectually and emotionally.
Thank you for the countless
little things you do;
you might think they go unnoticed,
but I see them.
Thank you for loving my son
with the intensity and wisdom
of a wife
and the gentleness of an angel.
Most of all, thank you for being you.
I couldn't love you more
if you were my own child.
-Poem
by Joyce Barton
It's wonderful to have
you in our family
