Welcome to The $100 Question, where fellow BlogHers are asking questions ... and every answer could be worth one hundred dollars!
$100 Question Ramblings of a Red-Headed Step-child
Let's meet today's host: Heather from Ramblings of a Red-Headed Step-child

While certainly not the original red-headed step-child, Heather literally fit Ramblings of a Red-Headed Step-Child, during an episode of clinical depression. Heather makes her home with her high-school-sweet-heart-turned-husband of 12 years in the beauty of Colorado's Rocky Mountain vistas with her three children, ages 9, 7, and 1. And no, the baby was not a SURPRISE.

Hearing my little one sing. It really is amazing!

so the biggest blessing has been that I have grown in my confidence as a man and a provider.

I love watching my wife with the children, it brings out her tender and nurturing side.

I never thought I would be a Dad, so the entire experience has been a blessing.

The biggest blessing of motherhood is being a mother. I had to have an IVF to get pregnant and then when my baby was 5 months old I was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. My son is now 2 1/2 and I am cancer free.

Really very hard to pick one blessing, watching them grow, learn, seeing their characters and personality form, their accomplishments and helping them through their failures and feeling their love; all wonderful blessings.

Thank you!

I think the opportunity to be needed for all things, which turns into a need to be guided in much, and ends in a union of shared thoughts, hopes, and dreams.

tesashel 5 pts

It's a blessing knowing that they are growing up with high morals and knowing how to help others and that they will not turn out to be the dredge of society, not pulling their own weight, or just leaning on others for support.
