I look at both of them and just smile. 7 years I've been a constant in their life. I'm an advisor. It feels amazing. I feel needed. Step parenting is not an easy role. And sometimes people might not see you as a "true" parent. That doesn't matter. What matters is them. That I've watched them evolve into these independent, creative, and intelligent individuals. ...and I had a hand in that. My influence is subtle and purposeful. And it will get more beautiful to watch.
