The best valentine!!

:)Eighteen years ago I went thru a nasty divorce. Besides my boys , I had two wonderful stepchildren. I spent over eight years raising them as my own.Since they were not my biological children when the divorce was final I never was allowed to see them again. Today I got an email with their pics and will be hearing from my son John as early as tomorrow. It is so hard to believe he remembers me after so long. I can't wait to hear his voice. What a great Valentines Day. I have been crying for hours.:)

With that news also comes three new grandchildren!!:)

WOW! Than you are owed a triple, no, quadruple, congratz! I'm so happy for you, and to have this blessing come on Valentines Day... wow!

You know, before the rise of legal systems and codified laws, there was an ancient form of social law throughout Northern Europe that stated; if a man took on the raising of a child, that child was his and nobody could say otherwise. (Obviously this applies to women, too!)

Congratulations again! :banana:

Congrats. I have an uncle (in law) who went through a nasty divorce and his daughter who he thought was his turned out to be some other man's due to his wife cheating. After raising her for 8 or 9 years she was taken from him. He doesn't care if she's biologically his anymore, he just wants to see her. He's got another 3 or so years and he's hoping she'll contact him. I can imagine how great it must feel. Congrats on re-connecting and the new grandchildren!
