I’m so excited to share this first story with you!
I was thrilled to receive this email last week from Faye in Nevada.
Faye had this to say about her daughter-in-law Charlene…who just happens to also be one of my very wonderful friends…
I would like to mention Charlene. I know she doesn’t think she’s a great mom, but I think she is. Of course, you have known her much longer than I have, so I think you would share my opinion. I realize I am prejudiced because I am her mother-in-law. But from the first time I met her, I was impressed. She had adopted a baby boy after feeling (and being told) that she could not have children. Samuel was so well behaved. At such a young age, he was very polite, with his please, thank you, and your welcome. Then when she became part of our family, what a blessing. Then we all have been blessed with two more children. And I think she is too hard on herself. She is a Christian woman who has a husband, three children, and multiple businesses online. AND she helps others with their online businesses. She reads to the children and sings Bible songs to them; goes outside with them to play; comforts all of them when they get booboos; spends time with them when they are not having a good day, even though she may have multiple emails waiting for her attention. So her house isn’t Better Homes and Garden, spit-polished clean! So what! Her husband and her children, (and her in-laws), love her dearly. What more could one ask for?
Thanks for listening to my feelings about your friend.
Sincerely, Faye
Well…I just couldn’t help but start with that letter…
Faye, thank you for sharing these beautiful and oh-so-very-true words about Charlene!

Everyone be sure to stop back by to read more! And…get right to work writing your own!! We want to hear more!
I think it’s wonderful that a mother-in-law so readily voices such high praises for her daughter-in-law. :)
Wow! I for one am glad she is helping with my website! I can tell just from her emails that her family comes first- which is the way it should be! I hope I get the chance to meet her someday! :-)
What a beautiful tribute from her mother-in-law! Charlene sounds like a jewel!

Ok, way to surprise me AND make me cry! Thanks Laura, for posting Faye’s note. She makes me sound like a better, more attentive mom than I am, and there is no way I could ever do half of what I do without HER! Thanks to you both for making my day. :-)
