My wife, my stepdaughter, and I are going to Orlando this weekend to see my stepson. It's his birthday on Tuesday so we'll celebrate with him a couple of days early. Along with holidays, special events like birthdays are really tough when a loved one lives out of town. Lucky for us he's only 3 hours away, but I can surely empathize with those of you who have family in other states or even across the country. Of course, I could send him a "stepcard," but delivering our message in person is much better. Happy Birthday Lino!
Hi Dr. Rick. Thanks for stopping by my blog, www.stepfamilysanctuary.com. I thought I'd pop in and check out your blog too.
ReplyDeleteRegarding longer distances, it certainly can get difficult. My stepkids live 200 miles away and trying to juggle the schedules of two (step) teenagers, our own schedules and the various holidays/birthdays can get rough, if not downright impossible at times.
Great site!
