This is an amazing LO! I got misty, reading it!
I'm in the process of actively trying to like my stepmother. It's not easy. She's a difficult person (so am I, sometimes!).
oh wow....*tears* this really brought tears to my eyes...i am so happy for you to have that kindof feeling and experience! it is wonderful and i am so touched by this! I believe in taking NOTHING for granted. Cherishing every moment as if there is no tomorrow. This plays a big part in my decisions and actions, thanks for reminding me how much love there is in this world.
I am 18 and i never had a father, and my mother was emotionally abusive ever since she met her fiance (who she never married) he was ok but he didnt like me very much because he and his kids said i was "better" than them. never made much sense to a 9 yr old but he then hated me because i drove his kids away because i was too sensitive for them. they were harsh mean little children and it killed me because all i ever wanted was a big brother (his son was older than me but he abused me) and a father. Im sorry to overwhelm you with this i dont mind sharing it with everyone because i have become very strong. I still cry but its my outlet!
I live a very happy life right now with my fiance so it is all in the past but i am extremely happy for you! muuuah! many hugs and cheek kisses! muah!
And you did a beautiful job on this layout, especially the journaling!
i have never seen you get so deep in your emotions it is so touching to see that you have found a way to say the thing that you have wanted to say. and the layout is great :P
This layout has so much meaning to me, i hope you like it as much as I do!
Journaling under the photo reads: Dad, I know I don’t call you dad, but you are. You are the most wonderful dad ever! I love you so much, and I cannot imagine a better father. I am sorry it is hard for me to call you “dad”, I really am, and I would LOVE to call you that, but for some reason, it is odd to me. It is an odd feeling. I am not quite sure how to explain it, but I do want to tell you that to everyone else, and me, you are my dad. I love you so much, and I know it wasn’t easy to marry someone with two kids. I know we put you through some hell, and I will forever regret that. I remember one time while I was working at Papyrus, a lady came in asking for a card to give to her step dad, I showed her where they were, and she didn’t like any of them, so she asked to see more. Well, we didn’t have any more, but I told her she could always just get a card that said “dad” on it, I was sure he would like that. And she told me “no, we don’t get along at all, it seems as though no one and their step dad get along these days.” I looked at her and said, “well, I am not sure what ‘these days’ are, but I get along great with my step dad, he is my dad, plain and simple. I wouldn’t have it any other way.” She looked like she was going to go into shock, and just told me how proud that a teenager could say that, and that she had never really heard many people talk good things about step parents. It felt so good to hear that! It made me feel so good to say that! It’s true dad, it is, I love you and I know that no matter what happens, you will be my dad forever. Thank you for being a wonderful dad, a wonderful step dad, a wonderful role model, and a wonderful friend. I love you so much and am proud to call you “dad”.
