A missing piece

I have always had that missing piece growing up! You may ask yourself what is the missing piece? Well the missing piece is not having a father in my life. The father figure I have always wanted, but didn't get it or don't have. I did have a stepdad(may he rest in piece) since I was two years but we didn't see eye to eye and of course had that difficult relationship. I always wanted that relationship that my girlfriends or anybody had with their dads. Since my stepdad passed away my mom has remarried, and I have accepted that he is my mom husband and only that nothing else. Some people may or may not understand that but I am to the point of my life that I have accepted that I will not get that piece filled by my father but I do have a great mom, grandma, extended family, who love me and were there for me and my many accomplishments in my life. Along the way I gain a husband who has been there for me as well, than a few years later I became a mother of my own to an amazing little boy. This little boy who I call my son has bought so much joy into my life and to my heart!

Since becoming a mommy I'm proud to say that this missing piece has been filled. What has it been filled with? Well it's been filled with the relationship that my son and my husband/daddy have. You know seeing them together bring so much joy to my heart, and something that I have always wanted and didn't get it, but to see my son getting it and it's not missing out on a father and child relationship is a huge blessing. I know I don't need to thank my husband for being such an amazing father to our son and for being there for him but I do, and to top it off I have told my husband is something ever happen to us all I ask for you is to be there for our son and don't walk out on him....I say walk out because not sure what happen to my dad, but I do know he walked out of my life because he's not in it. I may have told my husband that, but I pray we stay and keep our family together forever!!!
