I saw what love does

We picked up my step son's friend from Washington at the airport this afternoon, and his friend was in the back seat on the phone. Who ever he was talking to must have asked him who he was with and this is how it went:

"I am with Kenny and his step mom, Debi"

Kenny: "She's my real mom, not my step mom"

I managed to keep myself composed though it was difficult..... How sweet was that?

I should probably add that this kid is almost 18 years old....

Even sweeter

Most kids that age wouldve never said that, in front of thier friends.

I know that is what makes it so darned special. This kid has had a rough time of it. His mom left him at 3 but still managed to show up enough for him to remember her and see her downfall (drugs).... For him to have said that just makes my heart feel like bursting.

I have a step mom that hasn't been married to my dad in 24 years!!!! I love that woman to this day. I think it's because my dad always picked me up for the weekend, then dumped me off on her and he went to his own thing. May be why they didn't stay married long, and the law was looking for him for 8 years LOL!!! She always made me green pancakes and we baked cookies and such. Even after they divorced, my MOM always took me to spend the weekend with her.

I seriously treat all our kids the way the deserve to be treated and this one, Kenny, has been grounded for months now for good reason. That he said that today is amazing to me... Amazing.

I dont blame you Debi, you should be very proud.
