The other night I went to my very sweet and dear friends Angie's house and spent time with her and her three kids. I love going over there and spending time with her family I always leave with a smile. When I was over there the most sweetest thing happened. She has a "step" son name Luke and even though he is not biologically hers she loves him just as though she gave birth to him herself. He is so sweet and passive and pretty much does whatever he is told. And he respects her. As most of us know having the title "step" in front of our names sometimes can leave a bad taste in your mouths. Well this is so not the case. After Angie made us all a yummy dinner we were watching the movie "The night in the Museum" I have never seen it. Well Luke couldn't get it on his TV s0 he asked if he could sit beside Angie and watch it. I thought that was sweet. Then he sat right beside her. I got a knot in my throat because I just thought that was sweet. Then a few minutes later he had his head leaned against her arm and right then I just started crying. Now call me hormonal if you want but that had to be one of the sweetest moments I have ever seen between a step mom and step son. It was like all he wanted was to be close to her and to love on her and for her to love on him. Luke has never really had a mother figure besides his Nana so Angie is his "mother". That night I witnessed more love shown between two people that God placed in each others lives. Showed me that no mater what role you play in a child's life that in the end all they want is to feel loved. Even if its just sitting close and leaning their head on your shoulder. Those little things can mean more to a little soul than anything.
Even though Luke didn't I was emotional and I didn't show him. Angie knew. Cause all I was thinking is how this "woman" that had this sweet little boy doesn't even know the kid that he is growing up to be. Which is totally her loss but yet one of my best friends gain. She not only has two wonderful gorgeous biological girls she also has a son that God blessed her with when she married her wonderful husband that God also picked for her.
All in all that was a wonderful night!
