The Knowing

I have been waiting for a long time.

Waiting to get that feeling inside when I absolutely, positively, without a shadow of a doubt knew that my step kids know me.

Today was one of those days.

My step daughter gave me a gift.

A picture of herself, just a simple headshot….without skin.

Yes, tears of joy were shed.

It was like a moment out of a Hallmark movie….

Without the cheese or used to be actors and actresses.
