For forty-two years – forty married – they have been my life!

While I am their stepdad – they are like my own –

I am the luckiest man in the world.

They call me PAPA – and it is like a badge of honor to me.

They hug me goodnight when we stay with them – Bode gets up in the morning and the first thing he does

comes down the stairs to our bedroom – and usually, I am blogging –

He runs up to me and throws his arms around my neck –

” I LOVE YOU PAPA”!

We combined two families – four very young kids – and started the next forty years together.

Debby was eight going on nine when Sherry and I married – we were engaged for one year prior

and dated one year prior to that.

The three of them – laughing – giggling – so full of life – love them – proud of each of them.
