Building relationships
My son's fiancee had a birthday this week. I got her a dainty silver bracelet with her name engraved on it and a card.. nothing too elaborate, but it brought tears to her eyes when she opened it.
She told me her Mom sends her a check and her dad forgets altogether, so getting something so personalized really touched her. I had no clue... but was glad I'd chosen a gift that she saw as something so special. I got a nice hug for it that made my day.

You're a very thoughtful person Tink. I'm sure it was a lovely bracelet.

How sweet of you Tink. You are always such a thoughtful person. You son's fiancee is a lucky lady to have you as a future MIL.

You are a very nice person Tink. We never know how a little gesture can touch someone's life.

Thanks ladies, but I'm the lucky one. I really sincerely love her. She's very kind and caring and has found her way into our hearts and family already.
For mothers day she got me flowers and a beautiful card. She's a real sweetie and we're glad Joel found her.

I'm so glad, Tink. That will make their marriage so much less stressful as well. It's nice that my mom likes my hubby... most of the time... and that I like his parents.
