Our step mother was a step upward for our entire family. She was a blessing in our life, an extra pair of hands for our parents. We called her our E.Ma, our "Extra Ma." As a bonus, "Emma" means "My God has answered," and she did feel that she'd come as answer to our needs, to love us all.

When we all love one another, when the new partners are there to support and uplift both parents, to be a blessing to each of them, life gets better. This is when blended families rise, when healing happens and children thrive.
