Trevor & Joe

Last night, Joe's mom called to tell us a story about something Trevor said. Trevor went to a birthday party last night and Joe's foster sister, Sheila drove him. Someone at the party asked Trevor if Sheila was his mom, to which Sheila said, "No, I'm his Aunt."

Trevor said, "I didn't know you were my Aunt."

Sheila said, "Well, Joe's my Brother and he's going to be your Step Dad, so that makes me your Aunt."

Trevor told, "Well soon, he's going to be my real Dad."

That story makes me so happy I could cry. Maybe it's the emotional side of pregnancy, but knowing that my family unit is real and it's all coming together for us, well... it make me want to cry.

I'm so happy Joe and Trevor get along. Trevor really does need a "dad". I actually told myself that he didn't need one simply because I just couldn't provide one for him. I decided it was better for him to not have a dad than have some jerk in his life that would constantly let him down.

But I've seen a real change in Trevor since Joe has come along. Trevor's drastically more confident and seems to have a lot more fun just being a boy.

I'm not sure if I've ever told Joe in words, but I really appreciate him for being good to my son.

Thank You, Joe. I love you.
