Mr. Rick and Ms. Alice celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary today.  I think that is awesome.  I called to tell them Happy Anniversary and had a good talk with Ms. Alice and yes I talked to Mr. Rick too.  I have good in-laws and I hope that they feel like they have a good daughter in-law.  We haven't always seen eye to eye but they have always been good to me, sometimes better to me than my own parents were.  They have always made me feel that I was one of their own and I have been in it so long I must be!
  Ricky and I have had a pretty rotten last couple of years.  Mr. Rick and Ms. Alice was right there by our sides helping out however we needed them to and however they could.  That really means alot to me.  I remember telling Ricky one time that he was very fortunate in the fact that outside of me  he had his family to care about him.  You see I felt I had no one other than him and my sister Lea that cared about me.  And he looked me in the eye and said you do too,  you have my family and they care and love you very much. I have felt that love more in the last couple of years not because they have helped us but because they really, genuinely care.  That's just them, that's how they roll.  And even though things are on the way up for us,  they still call and check on us just to see if we are alright.  She even calls on a land line during the middle of a lightening storm to make sure we are alright.
  Mr. Rick and Ms. Alice I love you both.  You are very dear to me.  Thank you for giving me Ricky -  you made him just for me.. Thank you for giving me your love.
  HUGS and KISSES
