Red heads in our family = no steps,,,,

Ok I kow this is a strange title, yet, it was something I just thought of after reading some things out of the Red head groups. 

I know some of you have read about my two sisters, the one that past away many moons ago. well there is a second part of my family I like to share with ya all.

My parents divorced some 20 years ago,  no matter why it just happened, well some it was due to my step mom.  I met my step mom about 20 years ago, I was pregnat with my daughter at the time.  She was cool, and nice, and help me out during the whole single prengacy thing, more then my own mom did.  About 19 years ago my dad told me he knew my step mom for over many years before the divorce, hense I was getting some of that on what step mom would say to me.  Then he inform me that he would like to get married to her, ask if I was cool about it.  Let see, I 25 having my father asking my permisson.  Kinda of funny in way, I just said as long as you are happy and go for it, whom am I to stop. 

So they decided,  we had to meet each other family.  Well there is me and my sister, my dad even flew her home to meet stepmom, and then there are her 3 daughters and one son, and this time the youngest was 18 and the oldest 27.  It went fine till the adults told the kids what the plans were.  shit hit the fan.  And the red hair flew, see all her girls had red hair, and I say flaming red head and temper go together....

That last almost 6 months or so, meanwhile, her ex husband killed himself, while I was on the phone.(another story). Angery 18/19 year threating to screw up her mommy life,  My mother, fighting the divorce thing, untill my sister and I had to talk to her,  Me having my girl.  Dad and Stepmom decide it was time for wedding.

At the reception, it was small and grand. HIs family, her family were there.  We all talk and party untill our heart contents.. Then it was time for the family toast,  I did mine thing, welcoming my step mom and her family to our family and how it was great to have more aunts and an uncle to see my kid grow up.  Then the oldest doing his job,  this is the kicker.

He proudly stood up to my dad and step mom and wish them well, hope things work they way they want. And that there should be no stumbling or hardaches from either side. This is what our folks want and we as a family will work on it to see it happen, then he turn to his sister and me and my sister, and told us we are all family for there is NO STEPS in his mother new house hold.

therefore I have a wonderful mother, yet I love my mom too. For since there are no steps in our house, my step mother is my best friend, my menter, my mom. and I love her to death, for she make me feel like one her daughters, and she loves my dad, and that is important.

As for my sisters, yes they all have the red head, and the red head temper, yet we all love each other, and there are no steps in our family. And for my brother,  he is awesome,  I can talk to him about anything, and he is there for me..

As for my parents, mom and dad live in a ranch style home, for my dad made sure that there that in his household,we come as a family with love and happiness and no steps.

Now the family is larger then ever, I have three living sisters and one brother, and one sister in law, and three brother in laws, and 8 neice and nephews(two from my other sister who past away), and 2 great nephews, and my 41/2 that belong to my husband and me.  So we are large, still no steps. 

thanks for listening,, I apprecitate it all
