I remember looking at other people's kids, who were sitting with a step-mom or a step-dad, and thinking that it must be so hard on those sweet little kids.
I remember wondering if I would every be able to find someone who would love the girls enough and love me enough and love the Lord enough.
But if I sit back and look at our family, I can't picture it being any other way. It feels like we've always been together. I have never ONCE thought of him as the girls' step-dad. He's always been their "daddy", "dad", "Superman", "daddy-oh".
These are his children. They are the children he will raise. The children he was always supposed to raise.
We just both had to learn some things as adults, before we could come together and be a family forever.
We are so blessed.
P.S. Tonight I realized that this will be Hannah's first Christmas with a daddy. And it rocks.
