As Stepmom and Mom We Learned How to Build a Bridge

After years of building a wall, we finally learned how to build a bridge. After years of drawing a hard line, we finally learned how to draw a soft circle. After years of being separate families, we finally learned how to become one.

This wasn’t her original plan and it wasn’t my original plan, but here we are and this precious girl between us deserves the best of both of us. If I’m being honest, even if this sweet girl wasn’t between us, I’d still love the woman next to her.

We’ve learned how to be each other’s cheerleader. We’ve learned a ton about forgiveness and grace. We’ve learned how to love each other through the thick of things. We’ve learned how to be moms together and it’s a bonus that we became friends.
