I hope you have a pleasant holiday anyway. Just remember you are only there temporarily.

You could just think of them as your children. One of my friends considered his step-father to be his real dad, not his biological one.

In the end, I think the bond [step]parents have with their kids is more important than the bloodline.

I know exactly how you feel. If it weren’t for the fact my father is ill, I’m not sure I would have agreed to come back here this year. It has been years since I have been here and the thought turned my stomach. I won’t miss it when I leave again.

What a powerful essay, Jack.

The part about step-children rings so true for me.

I hope you get home to your family soon, and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
