I could have used the last post to talk about my siblings-in-law, but I have too many! I mean, I'm counting Jon's siblings and their spouses ... all of whom I love and adore ... which means talking about 13 more siblings!
Although, I am dedicating this post to my siblings-in-law, I am not going to write a paragraph about each of them. At least, not today. Each of my siblings-in-law have taught me something special. At times, it's been perserverance, strength of character, courage to face unbelievable odds, and determination. Other times, it's been acceptance, love, and laughter. (Plenty of laughter.) I love to be around my siblings-in-law ... for many reasons, but today it's because I get to see another side of my husband when we are with them. He becomes the person he was when he was growing up with them. It's amazig how many different sides we each have.
So today, I am grateful for my siblings-in-law who have given me support and advice. Sometimes, it is unbearably embarrassing to recognize I have no clue how to be a mother, and accept advice from an older sibling. And, that's when I remember that I am not alone and I have other siblings (siblings-in-law) who are also going through the same thing as I, and they buoy me up as we go along together. I have been so blessed to marry into this wonderful family!
