Today I am taking a break from Sneak Peek Week to wish my step dad a Happy Birthday.  Not only that, but he gets huge props.  This man is a saint.  I am lucky to have had him in my life since I was very young.  I can't imagine what it is like to be a step parent.  I know it is not an easy job.  I know I made it a much harder job than it should have been, being a sassy bitch of a teenager. I know being married to my mom isn't always easy - love you, mom!!! - but I can say that because I have been a wife and my mom's blood is in my veins.  

 

 

 

He has done an amazing job.  He has always, always, ALWAYS, treated me not only like a daughter, but his daughter.  I never once felt like he favored my brother and sister over me because that is not how he works.  When I look back at some of my worst life moments, he's been there lifting me up and praying for me.  I have been on the phone with him many times when life has been trying and he will pray for me right then.  No one else has ever done that for me, and if no one has done that for you - you might be surprised at how powerful it is.  

He is a wonderful husband to my mom.  I never knew how important that was to me, but I am truly grateful for what he is to her.  Marriage is difficult.  Being a good spouse is hard.  Today I saw my mom wrote a Happy Birthday post to him on Facebook and he responded.  They both said how they were the loves of each other's lives.  I can't say enough how happy this makes me - for both of them.  They are an excellent example of what love is. 

Happy Birthday, Aaron!  I hope your year is filled with happiness with many more to come!  Oxoxoxoxo - Love you!
