Happy Thursday! For Thankful Thursday, I reflect on these two. Julie and Aubrey have grown into amazing young women. These two are strong, independent, and straight-up good people. They take things as they come. They are accepting of others. They are supportive of each other. They go out of their way to help when needed.
Ten years ago I met an acquaintance that would change my life. It was not the easiest year for me. That acquaintance became a friend. Nine years ago, that friend became more. Almost 8 years ago, I married him. Julie and Aubrey have accepted us without question. He’s not their dad and has never tried to be. I jokingly said they treated him like a pet. So, I am thankful for their acceptance.
When we have faced difficult circumstances these two have dropped everything to step in and help, even if it is just being around. No hesitation, just what can we do? Or, they just do. I’m thankful for their empathy.
Both had lived life on their terms. It’s not always easy to take a chance or do your own thing. I’m thankful for their adventurous spirit.
I’m thankful to be their birth-giver.
