Why?
Because I refused to give up on hope and love and happiness. Because I wouldn't settle. Because I found someone who made me realize and understand that I am valuable and worthy of love... of being loved.

We are broken.
We
are
broken.
Why?
Because that's what you call a family that has separated for specific reasons, resulting in a step or blended family.
We are a family with roots twisted deep into the earth of two vastly different worlds. We are both parents and step-parents...our children - sisters, step-sisters, and mostly sisters with siblings somewhere else.
But are we really broken?
I don't know.
Were we fractured? Yes. Damaged? Probably. No longer in one piece or in working order? That's just it... We took the broken pieces and put them together to create something more amazing than we ever could have envisioned. How is that broken?
We are blessed.
So blessed.
...and oh so beautiful.
A year ago, we were plagued with uncertainty.
Six months ago, I wasn't sure the broken pieces would ever come back together.
Today, we are the family I remember... my family.
It has been a difficult year but we are closer and stronger because of it. In the end, love prevailed.
We are broken.
We are blessed.
We are beautiful.
Love,
me
