Happily married mother of two(by birth), and step mother of 4 grown children.
(I think it's odd to try and describe my parental status as I raised my oldest stepson from about the time he was 4 1/2, so I claim him as one of "my kids".
However, the other three stepchildren were not raised by me, but I don't claim them any less, just differently. But when people ask "How many kids do you have?" It's not a simple answer.)
I'm a sap. And an old fashioned romantic. I believe in promises and I believe in God- perhaps not as most say they do, but off grid, out of the box- I tend to believe that God is bigger than most people think is possible. And I'm beginning to be more open minded about what/who God is. I've "seen things" and "known things" some I can't begin to explain. Because of this and my verocious love of reading, I sometimes "don't fit" in main street thinking and beliefs.
It truly was a great day. David wrote and performed an original birthday song for me which was really wonderful. Walter spoiled me rotten with gifts and then a family dinner out. To top it off Walter invited several friends over to surprise me with a little party once we got home. It was a really sweet day. Additionally I was able to get in touch with Carey Allen and talk with him. It was the first time I've talked with him in quite some time. Sadly, his voice is totally gone (or as he put it, "I sound like a Sicilian Wookie" referencing The Godfather and Chewie Chewbaka's voices...well, at least his sense of humor is still very much intact). Besides that, I got brithday cards all week long and phone messages. What a great way to bring in the 40th decade. Thank you for your card by the way.
