Dear Stepmother

Dear Stepmother,

When you first came into my life, I'll be honest I did not want to give you a chance because I wished my parents would have been together. I soon realized that life was not going to go the way I wanted it to but yet I still did not want to even give you a chance. When I went to dads for spring break every morning, I would look out the window to see if your car was there and I would be sad if it was and happy if it wasn't. Over the year I slowly started to realize that I needed to give you a chance, so I did. I thought you were too strict and mean so I really did not look at you as a mom until the day you and dad said that I could live with you all. The day you both said I could move in with you I began to realize you cared because you knew I did not like living with my birth mom, I saw that you loved me like I was your own. After I moved in you were still strict, but I soon realized that it was because you wanted me to succeed in life. I started calling you mom because you showed me and treated me like your daughter. when I had my seizers, I called for you after because as my mom I knew you would take care of me. You made sure I took my medicine and that I was taking care of myself. You refused to give up on me when I wanted to give up on myself. I would not be where I am today if it was not for you mom. You are my mother, and I would not have it any other way. Happy Mother's Day and thank you for loving me like your own.

Love,

Your Daughter.
