From 'Chicken Soup for the Mouthers Soul'
This is just a quick little quote that I read and felt it was fitting for my situation with my stepson, as well as to any other stepmothers out there.
"Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it."

OMG.. this couldn't be more accurate. I never had children of my own but the love I feel for my stepkids couldn't be that far off. It surprised me at first, how maternal I became.. how self-less, how sacraficing... but it all makes sense. Especially after reading the quote.!
