You ever been around people and say, "They have no business being parents". Then you meet those who would be a great parent and have no children for whatever reason. I just don't understand why. I think about that when I see my wife with my daughter. Being newlyweds I wondered how she would adjust to being a step mom to a 15 year old. Well she just jumped in with both feet not knowing how deep the water was. I have watched their love and respect grow for each other and it has been a wonderful experience. Don't get me wrong, there have been ups and downs, but the ups greatly outnumber the downs. They have an uncanny ability to adjust, like it was meant to be. My wife is a much better parent than I am and I've got 26 years of experience! Maybe it's just a woman thing I don't know. I do know I don't have to worry about my daughter, she's well cared for. Seeing them together makes me smile...I'm a very lucky man. Thank you Cheryl for being the mother you didn't have to be.
Oh I'm the lucky one! I love you both very much. To me it's like the answer to my questions have been answered. THIS is why... And he handed me you and Traci and said now stop asking silly questions! ;-) love that your writing again.
