An “I Love You” I Will Always Remember
Written by Leah. Filed Under Calgary, cars, love, personal, relationships
Tim and I have been in a relationship together for two years, seven months, and nineteen days, and approximately sixty-five thousand kisses. We are a pretty affectionate couple, and tell each other how much we love each other about seven or eight times a day, give or take a million. I will always fondly remember the first time he told me he loved me, but recently I had someone say those three magic words to me that may have even topped the first time he whispered them to me. It was … get ready … his mother! My possible future mother-in-law. I wouldn’t say that Tim’s mom and I are especially close or anything - I mean, I think she is a wonderful mother, and a great and very kind person and has never been anything less than supportive of me and Tim, but having lived two hours away from her while in University, topped with the fact that I don’t spend too many holidays there (because I can’t bear to leave my OWN family) .. well let’s just say that Tim has been to the Bontje farm on many many many more occasions than I have been to his.
The morning Tim and I took off on our adventure of a lifetime together, Tim’s mom, Maria, made us a big brekky and had some of her best friends over to say godbye to Tim (and me, I guess!). Well, by this time the car was jam-packed, we were prepared for the worst gas-mileage Tims ‘94 Mercury Grand Marquis had EVER gotten, and Maria leaned over to me and asked me not to murder her son, but to be patient with him as he has yet to realize that I am always right, and told me that she loved me then gave me a huge big loving welcome-to-the-family hug. And I, well I just just stood there dumbfounded while fighting back the tears. But I gained my composure, returned the love and hugged her back really hard. It was such a special moment, one that I will always remember. If Tim and I ever take the big walk down the aisle (alongside Mic and Kent), I can know that my new family will love me and treat me just as well as my current one.
As soon as we drove away I turned to Tim and said “YOUR MOM JUST TOLD ME THAT SHE LOVES ME!” Typically male, Tim looked at me confused and said … “So?”

Ewww…. that’s how I’d feel right about now if my MIL told me that.
I know she means well, but I honestly don’t think she likes me THAT much.

AWW! I remember at the beginning of your relationship you thought his mom was a little skeptical of you because of Tim’s previously crappy taste in the ladies. I am glad she is finally seeing the light!
PS Tim’s reaction was amazing. So typically boy.
I wish my MIL was like that..
i mean dont get me wrong she’s not a b*tch or anything, she’s just weird.. but not the good werid.. haha, or maybe its just because i love my own mum so much no one can compare to her, and i wish i had gotten a MIL like her instead of the one i did get.
Lol…I remember my boyfriend being all “so?” about something similar in regards to his family. Men just don’t GET IT!
