Dare to be different!

This weekend was full of a lot of ups and downs. My son's baby shower was this weekend and that brought various emotions along with the fact that I heard the baby's heart beat for the first time. One of the things that I learned this weekend, trust me there were A LOT of things learned, was that people do not understand our blended family. We are looked at as weird. This completely baffled me and my family. I had to explain to my son that some people just love drama and they expect us to have drama and unfortunately they look for it. What we showed this weekend was a family that has come a long way, a family that has recognized that we ALL are a family, a family that will come together for our children, and a family that will make a difference. One thing that really hurt me was when a statement was made questioning my "role" with my son. But just as quick as the question was delivered, my son made the definite statement that I AM HIS MOM! We are daring to be different and NO ONE can break what we have going on!
