30 Days of Thanks-Day 10

Day 10: November 10,2012

I am thankful for a woman who loves me like I was her own, my mother in law. We had an amazing conversation, about Gabriel, about God, about grief...I dont know if we have ever had such a nice conversation without me getting defensive. She has helped me so much though through the last few years. When Gary and I couldnt afford our own place, his parents let us stay with then rent free for longer than we should have ever stayed. When we were in the hospital after finding out Gabriel had passed away his dad immediately told us not to worry abiut anything, he would take care of it. They planned almost the entire service, his casket, and the plot where Gabriel now rests...I dont know what I would have donw without them. They have given us so much, I dont know where I would be in life without their guidance. I dont have a picture of his dad right now but the picture is of his sister and mom.
