To my ex’s mom,

I have to say the worst part about this relationship ending is I’m not just losing him, but I’m also losing you. Even though things are over now, I know I owe you a thank you, in the beginning you didn’t know much about me, but you still welcomed me into your home with open arms.

Right from the start you made me feel like a part of your family and I will forever be grateful for that. Meeting you was truly a blessing. You are one of a kind and a truly amazing woman. The memories I shared with your family will forever remain in my heart, from helping you with thanksgiving dinner (and you never judging me for going back for seconds and even thirds), to our shopping trips and even just sitting around the couch playing Uno.

I wouldn’t change a single thing.

Your house always felt like a second home to me and I enjoyed every minute spent there. I hope one day if I have a son, I can show his girlfriend the same love and acceptance you showed me. I know your son and I could not make things work and every part of me hates that. I loved your son with every bit of my heart, and part of me always will. I still wish the best for him in his life even if it doesn’t include me. You really raised some amazing boys.

I thank God for bringing your son into my life because if it weren’t for him I would have never met you. You are truly an inspiration and just an all-around great woman and I’m thankful I got to have you in my life for the time I did. More than anything I want to thank you for accepting me for who I was, I felt like I could be myself around your family and that’s the thing I loved the most.

No one knows what the future holds so as hard as it is I have to say my goodbye for now. Once again, I want to thank you for everything, the time you spent with me, the love you showed me, and allowing me to be a part of your amazing family. Love you always.
