A simple thank you is not enough.
Your son and I have been dating a while now and I just wanted to thank you for everything.
Wow, where do I start? Ever since the day your son brought me into your home you have shown me nothing but kindness. I have not one negative thought about you and I am truly thankful for that. I first and foremost want to thank you for welcoming me with open arms. There are horror stories of mothers resenting their son’s girlfriends and I am blessed there is no resentment or harsh feelings.
Thank you for treating me like one of your children, with so much love but knowing exactly when to tease me.
Thank you for sticking up for me when your son teases me, even though I know it’s all in good fun it’s always comforting knowing you have someone by your side.
Thank you for raising a man who respects women and knows how to take responsibility of mistakes and not a boy who is immature and doesn’t take responsibility.
Thank you for always including me in family affairs, I may not be blood family but you do everything you can to make sure I feel like I am.
Thank you for letting me make memories with your family.
There is nothing I value more in this world then memories with friends and family and I am thankful you want and are willing to include me in yours. I have so much to thank you for my thoughts keep running together.
The most important thing I have to thank you for is for trusting me with your son. I know how precious and valuable he is and I won’t break his heart. I will do everything I can to make him happy. This means more than you could ever imagine and I promise I will never break your trust.
The second most important thing I must thank you for is for accepting me for who I am. Never have you ever wished I looked like another girl or acted like another girl. You simply love and care for me and that’s all I could ever ask. Every person in this world is a unique different person and understanding that means a lot.
The third most important thing I must thank you is teaching me how to one day in the future treat a potential girlfriend that I may interact with as a mother. I am not a mother, but I one day plan to be. If I ever have a son it is because of how you treated me that I am able to be a humble loving mother to this new face that could one day walk into my door. How you have treated me has taught me how I should one day be in the future and I thank you for that.
This may seem all over the place but that’s how my brain gets when I try and thank you for everything you have done for me. It’s all so much and even the little things are so important so I promise my scattered thoughts are all with good intentions and not meant to bombard you. I just want to get the idea across to you that you are important and special to me and everything you do does not go unnoticed.
Sincerely,
Your Son’s Girlfriend
