The summer of 2010 with T-Man

As I've mentioned before, I have two bonus (step) children. T-Man is 13 and the sweetest kid you'll ever meet! We have built our relationship over the last 2 years and he told during this summer visit he would like to start calling me "Mom" if I didn't mind! Didn't mind??? What an honor! I'm so proud to be thought of so lovingly by a 13 year old young man!

We have so much fun together: we go jogging at the park together, shop together, cook together, talk about girls, school, sports and cars together, eat at our favorite restaurant together (a Chinese buffet) each time he visits, sing in the car together, dance in stores together, and truly enjoy our time together as friends. I never thought I could love a child as my own and with him, I really do.

We are having a cookout with some family friends at our house tomorrow and he is right there with me cleaning the house, preparing food and coming up with his cool TOGA outfit - yes, toga....he is very much his own person and does things that make him happy and set him apart from others. While he is so much like his dad, it's almost amazing, he also has the sweet tenderness of a Southern Gentleman.

**watch for photos tomorrow of the TOGA!!**

What or who do you have in your life that means so much to you, that surprised you?

Be true to you!

Hugs,

Heather
