Short Changed....

I recently had the privilege of meeting two (out of a total of four) of my boyfriend's children.  I first met his sixteen-year-old daughter--a beautiful, funny, and talented teenager--one week ago.  She is the type of person blessed to be born with a a warm, engaging, and magnetic personality.  Her shining spirit (as well as her obvious love and affection for her family) is nothing short of amazing.  She possesses an infectious laugh which immediately brightens the lives of those lucky enough to be in her presence.  With her loving and kind hearted personality, she has captured my heart already. 

Next, I met my boyfriend's twenty-four year old son.  Like his father, his charm and sense of humor attracts all who are in his presence.  Attractive, intelligent, and comical he naturally captures the hearts of many who  long to be his girlfriend.  His relationship with his father is something to be envied- the obviously close knit relationship they have goes far beyond the typical father and son bond.  With his witty and engaging personality, he has charmed me already. 

Although I have not yet met the remaining two children (both girls ages four and nineteen), there remains no doubt they are as wonderful as their siblings.  My boyfriend's nineteen-year-old daughter is said to possess beauty, talent and creativity.  A dedicated mother to her young daughter, she works hard to succeed and will triumphantly graduate from the esteemed Paul Mitchell School in the near future.  I simply cannot wait to meet her. 

Last, there remains the youngest sibling--a four-year-old adorable bundle of cuteness and energy.  Rumored to possess an engaging and fun loving personality, I have no doubt that I too will fall under her spell.  Being a self proclaimed barbie fanatic, I can only hope she adores them as well. 

Previously I wrote that I had no intention of becoming involved with a person who had children.  I now realize I would have sold myself short had I not approached the situation with willingness and an open mind.  I believe these four children will not only enrich my life, but also enrich the lives of my family.  I feel extremely blessed and honored at being given the opportunity to get to know each one.
