The hubs:
Kelly and I got married on September 4th 2010. We
don’t look at divorce as an option. We knew going into this marriage thing that
because of others (Olivia & Gracie) being involved that we would ALWAYS
have to make our marriage number one. So far so good. Of course we have highs
and lows, but we are always committed to making it work. Kelly likes anything
and everything sports. He was the one
that started my love affair with wine (even though he would prefer I drank
red like him). He is a wonderful Daddy (and husband too) and I love and respect him more than I
can put into words.
The oldest:
Olivia is a beautiful, fun, and loving eight year old young
lady. She is my little rules girl. Even though O&G are technically my
step-daughters I consider them my own. She is a natural athlete and exceeds at
anything including bossing her sister around. She loves to read and learn about
new things. I am always learning from her and most of the time she is right
about things even though I hate to admit it.
The baby:
Gracie is a beautiful, funny, outgoing six year old. She is
very artistic and caring. If you're looking for a good laugh Gracie knows how to bring it. She is a social butterfly and always thinking of others. She makes
her bed without asking and knows how to push her sister's buttons (and get away
with it). She is so loving and gives the best hugs (the kind that you have to
know are coming or else she will knock you on the ground with her loving
force).
How blessed you are. I was a Nanny last year for a single dad who wound up losing custody of the kids when he sued the mother for full custody. Needless to say, there went the kids AND my job. I would have NEVER in one gazillion years dated him (he was a bit too self serving, young, and immature for me), but I guess things turn out for the best. He knocked up his girlfriend (that he spend more time with; she and her kids than his own; at the house with us) and apparently, they've begun their new life together. The kids are in San Diego, California.
ReplyDeleteI cried many, many tears for (and over) those kids since they've moved with their mom. I was the only stable force in their lives for a year (their parents seemed too caught up in their battle and their own lives; like, who was gonna "win" - as if Liam and his sister, Linoy, were trophies or a prize and not people). It was heartbreaking. I told Liam about certain things I'd be doing in the future. Of course I didn't say it whereby he feel excluded. I remember him asking if he could join me, and I told him if he were old enough or if his parents said he could, that I would be more than happy to have him come with me. I have been told by people who knew us (me and the kids - I mean, excluding their father because being preoccupied with his girlfriend, he was never around!) that Liam would look for me one day. I have no idea if that will ever happen. But, if it ever does, he will always be welcome. My heart doesn't compartmentalize people like that. When I love you, I love you.
Gosh, I hope they'll grow up okay. Liam was such an angry little boy when I first met him. It took months to see any REAL change. They're in Gods hands and I pray that He will never take His hands off their lives. Thank you for "listening".
I wish you and your family many blessings and happy times!
