For my sister in-law on her birthday.
I’ve gained a sister through marriage,
But you’re more than just a new addition to the family.
You’ve become like my sister I’ve known since birth.
I could go on and on about what you mean to me,
But I’ll just say that I love you because you’re one of us now.
And, I am so proud to call you sister.

Sister in-law, I want to take off those last two words.
You mean more to me than some made up phrase.
You have been a true sister to me all this time,
And I am so proud to call you one of us.
I remember your first time with the family,
And I knew you belonged with us.
Please take this card as sincere appreciation
Of who you’ve become to me.

The best thing that happened was when you joined the family.
This is your birthday, sister in-law, and I celebrate it every time.
I pretend that we’ve done this our whole lives.
You’ve become so dear to me, and I hope you feel the same.
I am just so glad to have a new sister in my life
Because you’re closer than family to me.

My sister in-law, your birthday is today.
I remember trying to memorize the date, the day, the time
Because you became someone who means so much to me.
I squealed with glee when you joined the family,
But I rest easy every day knowing you’re in my life.
Thank you for being you
Because you were just the sister I needed.

This card is for you, sister in-law, on your birthday.
You have become my most favorite person in the world.

I hope to have you around until our grandchildren play together as cousins.
But, today is your birthday and you deserve something special.
So, I’ll say I love you, and give the hug you deserve.
