Author’s Note
I feel incredibly lucky to have such wonderful parents-in-law. Not everyone finds the kind of support and love I have received from them.
Whenever Mike travels back to the Philippines, his parents shower me with thoughtful gifts. Each one feels special — a tiny reminder of their love and how much they care. A Colorado T-shirt, a pink Colorado hat, a cute plushie — these little treasures fill my home with warmth and happy memories.
I know some people struggle with their in-laws, especially their mothers-in-law. Seeing those challenges makes me even more grateful for my own situation.
Love can be protective, and letting go is not always easy for a parent. But shielding adult children from every challenge can hold them back. The freedom to make our own choices — even choices that turn out differently than expected — is a crucial part of life. It is how we learn, build resilience, and discover who we truly are.
With my in-laws, I feel deep trust and respect, and I am so grateful to have them in my life — and to be considered part of their family. It is why I love sending Good Morning Messages like these: a few kind words can carry love across any distance. ❤
