Today I have invented a new title.
and wish to pass it on to all those Mums out there who have a daughter who is very much in love and living with a "Partner"
Ok I have found out as i suppose many of you have too that being married and living together is not always so great. But how do you introduce your daughters live in boyfriend when they have mutually decided that they do not want to or in fact do not need to get married to prove they love one another
Here is the new Title that i have given my daughters wonderful partner. I now introduce him as
" My Son In Love "
And I am to be know as his " Mother in love "
Since the passing of my Husband two weeks ago he has been a great support to both myself and my daughter and today he stood at our sides as we said goodbye to my love
My Daughter has been my strength and shared both my laughter and my tears and even though My husband was not her Dad she loved and cared for him.
No Law could give me a better Son so now lets unite in sharing this new Title of
" Son or Daughter in Love "
Thank you Simon for helping my daughter laugh again and bringing back the sparkle to her eyes and for all the help and support you have given so freely to me
Your Mom In Love, annie in the Uk

This is wonderful. My daughter has been living with my 'son in love' for quite some time now, although they will be married in March. I always think of him as the son I never had!! But your new title is very special. Thank you for this. I am so sorry for your loss but you are blessed to have such a wonderful, caring family. And family doesn't have to be blood!! Although no one can fill the void, you have 2 special people to help you through the tough times. Plus the love of all the Cuties! You are truly a special person. Holding you in my heart and sending lots of love and hugs ♥ Sharon ♥

Annie, that is a wonderful title for him & you. May God richly bless you at this time of sorry. When my daughter passed away, a cousin, whom had recently lost her husband in an automobile accident, could not attend, but she sent me a card with a lovely poem about the rose that went through the crack in a brick wall and is still blooming on the other side. If you would like, I can share the full poem with you. Cymblene

i would love to read that poem as i am sure many others would so please share it with us so that we will all know that our special rose still blooms on the other side of the wall
Annie, here is the poem.
The Rose Beyond The Wall
Near shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed
in God’s free light.
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed
fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height.
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shone
a beam of light.
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride.
It followed the light
through the crevice’s length
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew,
the broadening view
Were found the same
as they were before,
And it lost itself in beauties new.
Breathing its fragrance
more and more.
Shall claim of death
cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint and fall?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive--
The rose still grows beyond the wall,
Scattering fragrance far and wide
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forevermore.

We will call him a keeper. Like the new special title. Think more families could use it. Nice to hear your past two weeks has been with the loving support of your family.

Oh, Annie, aren't you and your SI♥ lucky to have each other. I think your daughter must be a very fortunate woman to have a man in her life that values her relationship with her mother. You show such kindness and love to your family ~ it makes me smile. Hugs to you sweet Annie.

He sounds like a wonderful person.
I like your title - I understand the situation - sometimes it is just easier to say SIL, DIL, DH, etc. than explain that a piece of paper is not the only thing that makes a committed relationship (sometimes for oh so many years).

Glad your son-in-love was there for you and your daughter.
I like that title. So sorry your hubby has passed but when we know they are in a better place we can't wish them back. He sounds like a great person.
