Love Letter

To be composed more fully in personal notes to each.

To the parents of the man I love.

To the Loud family.

I feel so loved.

I have felt your appreciation throughout the years and known it to be genuine, but this weekend I was blown away by your kindness and care.  This weekend would have been overwhelming in the best of circumstances, but you made it easy and even fun.  I had to worry about nothing- not dishes or cooking or shopping, no logistics- not even my sanity, because you tended to that too.  You were my shoulder and my strength, my protectors and my friends.  I emerged from this weekend feeling like I was standing on solid ground again.  I was complimented and encouraged, supported between two people who came together once again for the benefit of their family, a family that I feel so honored not just to be a member of, but a member that they would fight for and be so protective of.  Thank you for your shelter, your warmth, your advice, your love, and your unwavering support. And thank you for restoring my house after the tornado- running laundry, cleaning my kitchen, vacuuming... Who ever heard of such an end to a visit from the in-laws?  I adore you, I adore you.

Thank you.

I love you beyond words.

Jenny
