I want to start by wishing you good luck. I know, that you know how crazy the women in this family can be, yet you still stick around for some odd reason.

I honestly can’t remember when you first came into our lives, but I know I was young. It was a weird concept to me that my mom could be seeing someone who would be her “boyfriend”. I always thought that boyfriends were for girls, not moms. I didn’t know if I was ready for someone to be in our lives that wasn’t my dad, but I guess you’re okay!

You always knew your place in our family. You knew that you weren’t our parent, so you never tried to parent us. We know that you are there for us whenever we may need you and we know that you truly care for us.

I love the trips that we've gone on. I loved Hershey Park and Cedar Point. The long, long, long journeys up to Dots and all sleeping in the same room. All those Chief's games that we've gone to also! Oh, and I can't forget about all the SU games.

Thank you for everything you have done and will do for us in the future. Take care of my mother and if you make her mad i'll beat you up!

Paul, the day is approaching where we officially join our two families together, and I just have a few words for you.

Good Luck and take us with you to Turks and Caicos
