Thank you for raising him to the become the man he is today. Your patience, love, and understanding are what aided in shaping him into the man that I love so dearly today. So thank you, for him, and thank you for loving me as a member of the family myself. I, personally, am not used to this kind of acceptance. I'm weird, kind of goofy, and not many people understand me, so thank you.

When the day came that I finally got to meet you both, I had never felt more welcome and accepted before in my life. You are both two of the kindest, most hard-working people I have ever met. Instantly then I saw where he got it. His sense of humor, his love of God, and every single living thing on this Earth. The love that you both hold for him makes my heart melt, and the love that he returns makes me proud to know and love him.

Thank you for instilling such an impeccable sense of right and wrong within him, unlike most people he has an amazing sense of right and wrong. He is the most intelligent person I've ever met and I know it's because of the both of you combined. I know that because he is so loving and forgiving that he has been taken advantage of by others in the past, but that is not my purpose. My mission is to love your son to the best and fullest of my ability and grow to love him more and more every single day.

Thank you for giving him such an amazing childhood, full of laughter and fond memories. I never get tired of hearing those stories. From him and his sister waking up on Christmas morning, to the wild pranks that almost got him in serious trouble. Even during the hardest times, I know you both tried your very hardest to give him everything he had ever wanted. And for that, I know he considers himself a lucky man.

There are a hundred, no, a million more things that I could say, but in short, thank you. Thank you for him, and thank you for allowing me to not only love him, but to become a part of your amazing family myself. Thank you for the amazing opportunity to love your son and grow with him, he is already the most amazing man that I have ever met, but I cannot wait to see what the years have in store for us both. Thank you for being the best family to the best man that I have ever met.
