I have been so lonely in this big house by myself, my husband took a vacation to the lodge with his work buddies, and my step-son has been gone every other weekend with his friends. I have taken to shopping to keep myself busy. I see a car in the drive, and it's my step-son! "Justin, you're home!" I miss him so much, I give him a warm hug and a kiss. I tell him how he ought not leave his step-mommy for so long, even though it is Summer vacation. I love my step-son, we have a very special relationship, and I never feel complete when he is away from me. I excitedly pull out my brand new dress from the shopping bag, "let's go out to dinner tonight, just me and you!" My step-son pulls out a gift from his pocket. "Darling, you didn't have to bring a present to me, it's not even my Birthday.."
