Dear Dad-In-Law: My Father's Day Wish To You

Dear Dad-in-law:

I look at you to see what my husband will become, and I’m pleased to see what’s on the horizon.

Thank you for passing on your patience—he’ll need it with me as his wife.

Thank you for passing on your quiet intellect—it really comes in handy and I appreciate that it’s never boastful.

Thank you for passing on your love of music—music has surrounded me my whole life, and still does thanks to you and s influence.

Thank you for being a guiding light—your experience and knowledge helps us navigate day-to-day challenges.

Thank you for saying grace at family holiday dinners—I cherish the times we all sit around the table together and listen to your remembrances of thanks.

Thank you for your wit—your son got the best of that from both you and Mom-in-law and it keeps me smiling even in the tough times.

Thank you for sharing your dimples and smile with your son—you’ve still got the charm so I’m assuming so will he when he reaches your age.

Thank you for setting the example of how a man should be in life—you’re an exemplary example and I benefit it every day by living with your son.

Happy Father’s Day!
