Havent seen my step daughter, in about 10, [View all]

Years. ( previous MrsK)
I never adopted her, but when she was 14 years old, wife asked me if she could come live with us, I said, " sure, your family is mine" we had a good 4 years, till she turned 18.
I was sitting here, with LilG, last eve, and remembered, it's her birthday today, , she is 42 today! should I call her?( I remember that because her and my Bdays were back to back)
Well, I did, and she answered.
3 hours later, we hung up.
We laughed, sobbed a bit because, of our history. She asked personal questions about me, I answered them.
When we closed, she said , " Love you Dad, sometimes, I need to talk, can I call you?"
I just said " anytime"
There is still , Love in this world, reach, for, Love.
Sorry for the ramble,

Koz
