Chris29 you are more the welcome to join our family. although you might find us a little strange. I love and hate the holidays. We always try to make it special in some way. this year with the granddaughter it is a year of firsts. Stuart and I meet 6 years ago and have only been married for 3 years. he has never had a little person in his life. he joined my little family with two teenagers and one preteen. He loves the kids. he thinks of the girls as his own daughters. my son is a different matter. when my son was 16 Stuart & i moved in together. my son made our life hell. he liked Stuart but he did not want me dating. my son moved out of state and was diagnosed schizophrenic. We get a long now sorta.
