As I understand it, my new born brother was taken to Idaho with my grandmother and I was taken by my dad's younger, married and childless sister here in Denver. That's how it went for 3 years. I was loved to pieces by aunts, uncles and, of course, my father was there all the time. I didn't see my brother for 3 years.

That's when our dad remarried. He married a wonderful woman who understood the situation. She had to love my dad with intensity to agree to take on two very spoiled brat boys. She's never said that, but I just know it from little things I can remember.

Ann is the only mother I really know, even though I do recall a couple of times with my natural mother. Something my brother will never know. I've never called Ann anything but "mom" and I've never introduced her to a single person as my "step mother". In fact, it offends me when someone mentions that and I quickly remind them she's "mom". Many of the family friends and nearly all my personal friends know nothing of this, which is just fine.
