I wrote this a couple weeks ago about my step kids (I have 4) and thought I would share it with you.

You all came into my life so late. I didn’t get to watch you grow up into the amazing teenagers/ young adults your are turning into. Every moment spent with you is just a great thing! I’m so thankful you have welcomed me into your life as not only a friend, mentor, or dads girlfriend, but as a step mom. Everyday I wake up feeling like I can achieve great things just because I know I not only have your dad in my life but I have all 4 of you as well. I work everyday because of you guys. It keeps my spirits high when I know I get to see you all for the weekend. The short amount of time I’ve known you guys has brought pure happiness into my life. I hope I can continue to do the same for you all. Coming into a family is a hard and nerve racking thing. Thinking you wouldn’t like me or wouldn’t accept me into your lives was a constant worry. But you’ve accepted me with open arms. I will never try to be your mother but I hope you all understand that I love each and everyone of you in your own way. I know you will all do amazing things and become  great adults! I can’t wait to share that experience with each of you personally. Know I am always here for you and will help you in any way I can!
