not to disagree and thank you for the well wishes, as a mother I appreciate it, but I want to also is issue a challenge for us, Another group that doesn't have a day,and I think they should- Step Parents, maybe next Sunday I'll also salute them as well.
They enter a family dynamic n with a parent and child relationship already in place. Often the child's other parent is still in the picture, how does the step- parent fit in? They don't want to offend but they may also have love for the child.
So until someone establishes them a day of their own I wish them a day of their own.
I have a story to tell, it is the story of my younger friend. Scott.
Scott fell in love with a lovely,young lady named Lauren who brought into the relationship her daughter Emily. Scott grew to,love her as well.
I happened to attend the wedding so I'll state this is a true story.
The wedding was similar to many I've been until the end.
Right before the part where their clergyman was ready to state I declare you man and wife, he said
Scott has something to say.
Scott called Emily forward, got down on his knees so he and Emily were on eye level, He said " You saw I gave Mommy a ring and she gave me one too? " Emily nodded yes. He said " Remember when I asked Mommy to marry me?" Emily nodded again because he had asked Lauren in front,of her. He said I have a big grownup sized question ,to ask you. Usually this is the point where they say the husband and wife got married." Emily nodded again "Emily like I asked Mommy if she would be my wife forever, Emily, from this day forward will you grant me the chance to be your Daddy forever?" Emily nodded and he said "I have a present for you" He fastened around her a necklace with 3 hands in an infinity circle, no beginning, no end, hanging from a golden chain. Then he picked her up in his arms and kissed the top of her head. Pastor Andersen said "Ladies and Gentlemen , I present to you, Scott, Lauren and Emily, a brand new, by the Grace of God, Family."
And the three of them walked back down the aisle and into a brand new beautiful life. Amen👨👧👩
