Your family is beautiful! It’s also both enlightenting and inspiring to see that you’ve accepted two difficult roles with a graceful, positive attitude – the roles of stepmom AND military wife! I too am a stepmom/military wife! My husband is in the U.S. Marine Corps. It’s great to have found a site that offers me a great sense of camaraderie!
