Dear (Blocked name) Step mom to my kids,
Things are rocky at best, and I expect it will probably always be that way because of the way our relationship started, but there are a few things I want to get off of my chest and this is the only way I can do it.
One- You are working magic with our middle son. He is trying new foods, challenging himself, walking with a more steady gait, and more confident than he has been in a very long time. I attribute that hard work to you, because you are with him every single day, working to help him work past his diagnoses. Nothing I could ever do could show you how honestly and sincerely I appreciate how you are helping him.
Two- This is your second year having a child of your own on mothers day (if I remember, which I may not, that your daughter was born the day before mothers day) but you have had many years being a stepmother to mine, and you treat those boys as if they were your own, and have from day one. Not everyone is strong enough to do that, especially with the stupid circumstances we went through.
Three- You have been there, when I have not. Despite our arguments, you should probably be up for sainthood for that reason alone.
Thank you for all that you do, and happy mothers day.
Love,
me.
Dear Grandma
Im sorry I broke Jesus's head off that one time we were saying prayers and I accidently fell asleep and fell on top of the statue. It doesnt mean Im possessed by the devil, it just means that I didnt get enough sleep. I wish I could be near you right now, but since I cant, I wish you knew how often I think of you.
Love
me
dear mom,
Happy mothers day, I wish we had a better relationship and this day didnt feel so very difficult for me.
love
me
Dear Ginger,
I know its been years. Years and Years and Years, but I love you, and I wish you would just come home. I know that mothers day isnt your thing, since you have no kids, but one day you will, and you will be an awesome mom. Call me.
Love
me
Dear Kristi,
Your beautiful boy is blossoming into a real stunner, isnt he? Who knew, a year ago that he would be such a beautiful and smart little fella? Ferdinand, what a wonderful name too!
Okay, just kidding, but when you do decide to have kids, I will be there every single step of the way, 100%. Out of everyone I know, you are going to be the best mom ever. You are more amazing than you could ever possibly know.
love, me

Too awesome December. I can't imagine too many mom's giving kudo's to stepmothers of their children. That's really nice.
Now I gotta call my mom...thanks for the reminder.
@edlives - She works hard. Very hard, under very hard circumstances. She deserves more credit than I am able to give her.
@edlives - CALL YOUR MOTHER.
@antisoccermom - that's cool....and yes I did. Their eating dinner and will call me back soon. Probably to discuss her thought's on American Idol.
your "dear mom" is about how mine would go.
I probably should send her something this year, since she finally went out of her way after so long just to get back in contact...
all of these are awesome, but especially the first. very moving. happy mothers day!
I admire you for your kindness. The first letter was amazing. I am a step mom and I don't see my kids mom ever writing me something like that. Bad circumstances too. I don't have a good relationship with my mom either and I choose to not contact her. If you would send that note it would show you're a much bigger person than I.
Happy Mother's Day to you.
These are fantastic! I really like the first letter. I'm sure it's hard to say something nice if the situation was bad but as always, you were honest and awesome
I agree with the people who said you should send the first letter. But seriously, they're all awesome. :) Happy Mother's Day.
They all look great, but the first is the best. Happy Mother's Day! :D
@antisoccermom - *tear*
Thanks for being such a great reader, you're the best!
