Originally written for Mother's Day, this page is now dedicated to the memory of my mother in law, Doris, who was a great lady! She passed away July 17th, 1999, and is sorely missed.

For you, mom.

Though you were not the first person to hold me and soothe my cries, you have held my hand many times and wiped away a million tears.

Though you were not the one that kissed away my boo boo's, you have in many ways, eased my pain.

Though it wasn't you that changed my diapers, you have helped me muddle through some very big messes.

Though you did not spoon feed me as a baby, you have nourished my soul.

Though you did not wipe my dirty little cheeks, you have on numerous occasions, helped me clean the mud off my face.

Though you did not tickle my chin in an attempt to make me smile, you have brought laughter to my life in so many ways.

Though you weren't there when I took my first step, you have celebrated my triumphs as though they were your own.

Though you weren't there for that terrible tricycle accident, you have helped me up when I was down.

Though you weren't the one that first told me I was pretty, you have made me feel more than beautiful.

Though it wasn't you that wiped my nose when I was sick, you have helped me when my heart was hurting.

Though it wasn't you I ran to when I was scared, you have helped me through my fears.

Though you did not give me advice at the dinner table, you have blessed me with your knowledge.

Though you weren't the one that tucked me in at night, you have embraced me with your warmth.

Though it wasn't you that I first said "Thank You" to, I say it to you now, from the bottom of my heart!
