is there ever enough time?

Is there ever enough time to snuggle for as long as you'd truly like to?

...to share what you know with your children?

...to walk down a road feeling proud of who you are and what you might one day become?

...to show your loved ones how much you care about them?

My mother-in-law is about to lose her long battle with cancer and it's strange to picture a world without her.  She has raised a beautiful family and I'm grateful for her devotion to them.

If there were enough time, I'd thank her for raising a son who loves and respects his wife.  Who is a truly devoted man to his family.

I'd thank her for accepting me from the start and for sharing her family stories with me.

I'd thank her for spoiling our daughter rotten just like a grandmother should.  And tell her how happy I am she had the opportunity to get to know her.

I would thank her for being so strong for so long.

But most of all, I'd thank her for just being Lynne.
