If you're like many of the kids of our generation, there's a good chance you have stepparents. Divorce between your parents is a tough situation. It's often fast & if you're really lucky, like me, you would have been too young to know what was even going on.

So your parents decided enough was enough, they moved on & they found other people to spend their life with, people who make them happy. However, now they have to make sure that this person is good enough to meet you, their baby. They have to decide how to go about you meeting each other. They decided that this person was good enough, they are able and worthy of meeting you. This person, man or woman, is amazing, they come into your life, they want to know you, to care for you, to love you & support you. This is exactly what they do.

My stepparents are more than just amazing & I feel that I don't thank them enough for all that they have done for me. I hear people all the time complain about their stepparents & it breaks my heart because these people have made such an effort to be your parent when they certainly don't have to. They chose your parent & they also chose you. They took on the role of being a parent, your parent, overnight, practically.

Thank your stepparents. Tell them you love them.

I want to thank my stepparents from the bottom of my heart to treating me just as they treat their own kids. I want to thank them for taking me in with such open arms, for being so incredibly good to me. I have known my stepmom and my stepdad for the majority of my life. They have given me such love, support & care.

If you have a stepparent, that you love & are thankful for, tell them. If it hurts you to hear people say bad things about their stepparents, make sure to treat yours right. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for them. I am so lucky & blessed to have such a strong support system. I am so proud to have the parents that I have, 4 parents, 2 sets of them, double the love.

So thank you, thank you for helping me, thank you for co-parenting with my parents, thank you for all getting along for my sake, thank you for loving me as your own. For being so selfless, for doing everything you possibly could for me. For comforting me, for all the advice that you have given me my whole life. For taking care of me when I'm down, or for fixing my car over & over again. Thank you for every little thing that you have done for me, nothing goes unnoticed.

I am so grateful for you two & I love you both.
