Letter to my Father in Law

To my future father-in-law,

There comes a time in every girl's life where she needs to leave the arms of her father and go out into the world. It is there that she gets battered and pushed aside, and made to feel like she is nothing. Then she meets someone who brings the feelings of safety and security that she had once known. It is this feeling that tells her that this person is the "One". Sir, your daughter is all of that for me.

Your daughter has taught me many things. She has taught me forgiveness. Forgiveness for my faults. She has taught me tenderness. Tenderness while I cried. Sir, your daughter has taught me the greatest quality of all- unconditional love. Unconditional love while I was healing, when I bruised her, when I pushed her aside.

The love and admiration that I feel for your daughter are endless. It is her love that has made me a new person. It is her patience that has made me a better person. I am who I am because of her.

Sir, this is a testament of my love for your daughter. I will Honor her, cherish her, be loyal to her, and put no one else before her, forever! Simply... I love her.

It is with this that we ask your blessing.

With best regards,
Your future daughter-in-law
