My Son-in-Law

What a lucky lady I am. As I mentioned yesterday, I am a wife, mother and daughter. I spoke about my 2 daughters.

Today I am addressing the other person who I mother; my son-in-law Jerry.

Jeremiah T Q Wade....born on July 15, 1976 to Joyce and Donald Wade. How far apart our worlds our worlds were at that time....California / New York. What were the chances that 30 years later he would enter our lives and become our son-in-law in 2008.

I am a lucky woman to have Jerry in my life. Most mother-in-laws are just that, a mother-in-law but for me it is different because Jerry's mom died when Jerry was a child. I am lucky because I never had a son, he has no living Mom, so I can be to him whatever mother figure he will let me be :)

Why blog

Today my husband bought me a book. I started to read it. I started to make some decisions, one being to blog.

I am a mother of 2 daughters. I am so fortunate to have them. Each one is unique, a little of me, a little of their Dad and a whole lot of their own personal life experience.

I am a wife to 1 incredible man who has his own story to tell. The book he bought me today shows his support for me. Thanks John.

I am a daughter to my mother. My Dad is dead, so I can no longer give him this title. I love my mother, though I often have to mother my mother.

I am a Hospice RN. To be able to help a person and those who love and care for them through the final part of their life is a humbling experience.It is my honor that God sent me the calling to do his work here.

I am a Fibromyalgia survivor. I have fibromyalgia. because of this I am in pain every day, every minute of the day. I do not let it stop me from being a mother, wife, daughter, hospice nurse and any other thing I may choose to be.

I am also an amateur genealogist ~ which for whatever reason I enjoy immensely.
