I think that in Heaven, the souls of my beautiful step daughters decided what they wanted to learn while they were down here on Earth. The angels helped them put together a plan with all the lessons and all the players who would walk on their journey with them.
They chose someone else to be their mother. They chose me to play the stepmom. They knew what they were doing, so I agreed to play this role to the best of my ability.
That means that I am aware that when I am not the one that is present to kiss a boo-boo, someone else's lips will offer that magic.
I know that they will grow up. They will need tools and support from a plethora of humanity. It means that I want to surround them with wonderful people. I know they may not come to me with every problem that they need to talk about, so I want to provide them with other sets of nonjudgmental listening ears.
I have carefully looked for god-parent type people. I have a fabulous bunch of relatives! I want to help them navigate the worlds of friendships, relationship boundaries, respect, and self-love.
I will never be able to be their everything. I'm not supposed to be.
