My husband has a very similar situation to yours (regarding your absent father) and I have to agree that he has become the father he never had but wished he did. He is very caring, very involved and the best Dad I've ever known. It's so heartwarming to hear of such a positive tale considering the circumstances. Again, well done. cardiogirl's last blog post..The man behind the orange peeler

Absolutely!
Hey, a family is what you make it. It can be biologically sound but a total mess, or it can be a mish mash biologically but flow in total harmony. You have the right idea!

Thanks to everyone for their comments.

@PG – You and your wife are lucky. It’s cool that you realize it. I never liked the term “broken home” either. There is a rockabilly song by the Tractors with a line that says, “We’re not broke, just badly bent”.

@Xbox4NappyRash – You are so right. Today family is made up of a lot of things. You said it well with, “it’s the unity that counts.”

@Karen and Mike – Thank you. Your words mean a lot. Really. Thank you.
