Big Payoff

A stepmom, Linda, sent me an e-mail. I could see her smile in her words.

 

She said, “I got a big payoff when my husband threw me a 50th birthday party and my stepson, drove six hours to be there.” Then she said, “I got an incredible call from my husband’s oldest daughter away at college. She called to say how much she loved me and was glad that I married her dad. And then she said, ‘Linda, I was so mean to you when I was 15. I’m so sorry. What was that about?’ Then we talked about it light heartedly and ended up having a good laugh.” Wow. Thanks for sharing, Linda.
