Ma chère belle-maman,
J’ai eu l’immense chance et l’énorme privilège de vous avoir comme belle-mère et comme deuxième maman. Vous m’avis appris à faire du chicken à la king et des tartes (j’en ai fait une seule – la première et dernière avec vous!), à tricoter et à faire des casse-têtes (le truc : retourner les morceaux si on n’est pas certaine qu’ils vont ensemble). J’ai fait des casse-têtes tous les jours depuis votre départ en pensant à vous. Le colibri vient me visiter durant ces moments de silence et de recueil et j’ose croire que c’est un signe que vous m’envoyez pour nous laisser savoir que vous allez bien.
Merci pour tous les sages conseils que vous m’avez transmis, tous les bons moments passés au chalet et, surtout, pour l’incroyable homme que vous avez élevé et avec lequel je partage ma vie.
Vous allez me manquer.
Denise
