So as I sit and reflect on one of the last weeks of being apart I wanted to remind myself of some of the real reasons I know Jayme is going to be with me forever. And since it is also Mother’s Day this weekend I think there is no more fitting topic for me to quick right about then the title you see above.

My Mom is such an important person in my life, all of my family is really, but there is something about the approval of a mother that is harder for a girl to get sometimes. Now I have dated before and my mom has always tolerated others, but never did she love them. I can tell you that when my mom sees the smile that Jayme puts on my face, how calm and relaxed I appear, how truly cared for I am, She sees that this woman will be her next and last daughter in law.

And really how couldn’t she? Jayme is so many things to me and has such a strong sense of nurturing, compassion, and love that she would make any mother proud to welcome her into their family. This weekend I am planning on making the drive to visit my mom, two hours out of the way for Jayme on her already 3 hour drive that day, but I can bet, that when she reads this post that we will have a great memories to talk about on our first Mother’s Day together.

And one day, when my Son brings home his future wife, I can only pray she is a quarter of the woman that my will-be-wife is.
