My Mother - In - Law

This is a short story about a very special lady..

In 2005 i first met her, i have never met any other quite like her, she was kind, considered, emotional, generous, funny and amazing.
In the same year i asked her if her daughter could move in with me, without hesitation she said "yes".
In 2006 we gave her her first grandson (Corsten), who was the apple of her eye, never a day went by when he didn't see her, he loved her just like his own mum.
In 2008, we gave her a second grandson ( Tyrhys), whom she also adored, she played with these two cheery boys endlessly, making us all smile and laugh.
In 2009, she became seriously ill and couldn't do very much, she wasn't the same woman i had met 4 years ago, she was fragile and frail, very sad to see the lady like this..
August 2009 i married my the girl i met, who made this great lady my mother-in-law, i couldn't have been happier, to have such an amazing person in my family..
It was Christmas 2009, a very emotional and teary day for all, this woman that we all adored was not the cheery person she was..
In January 2010, no one could've prepared us for what happened next, this lovely lady had been taken from us, leaving us lost and frustrated, some of us torn, and thinking why, why now..

I never really understood the saying "You don't what you got till it's gone", but now i do..
She had made such an impact on us, and touched us all deeply...
Never does a day go by, where she doesn't make an appearance..

So i raise my glass and hold my heart, we all love you and miss you..
And wish you were here..
