Our relationship didn't start out well. No fault of yours. I thought of you as the enemy. Years continued on like this. Me against you, you against me. With everyone stuck in the middle. But now, things are so much better. I had to have step-children for myself, to know the hell I hadput you through. To realize that you did the best you could. There are many books on step-parenting, but unless you have lived it, you wouldn't understand. It takes all of the patience and love you can muster and then, sometimes, that still isn't enough. Today, I count you as one of my best friends and a great Mom. I wasted way too much time being angry. I wasted so much time not getting to know this wonderful, giving, and beautiful person that you are. Through the anger, I couldn't see this fun and vibrant woman. But I do now. You are a unique and special person. You have given so much to me, but the gift I treasure the most, is your love. (c) Jules ~ 2003 |
