Jen Weber: {Day 2...Favorite Movie}

I am NOT a movie person...I always fall asleep and miss half the movie. So needless to say I have seen little parts of lots of movies. The one the is clear in my mind and was relate able to my life {at the time}and speaks to me in a very different way now..

STEPMOM

the first time I watched this movie I was a step mom to the most amazing little boy. I bonded with him instantly and after being a part of his life for 5 years I felt for him as if he was my own. I remember trying so hard to do and be the best for him...he was my heart <3 being a step mom brought many struggles and heartache but it was worth every bit of it....I am still friends with his mom and am lucky to get updates and pictures {his sister Hannah is the little girl fighting cancer} The hardest thing I ever had to do was leave the marriage knowing that half my heart would be left behind...I struggle quietly with that EVERY DAY!
Today I am a mother to my own children and could not imagine having a step mom in their lives...there is 2 sides to everything and I have been able to experience both. this movie gets me every time!!!

And to my dearest {A} I will love you forever and am blessed to have spent the time with you that I did....Half my heart is still in your hands!!!! xoxoxoxo Miss you SO very much! Thank you for teaching me how to be the mother I am today <3

I LOVE this movie too for so so many reasons!!! Thanks for posting this. It put a smile on my face <3; January 22, 2011 at 2:37 PM
