When my mom died, I knew that things would never be the same. However, when my dad decided to get remarried, I realized that it was an opportunity to get to know a new family and make them a part of ours. However, that was easier said than done.

We were able to learn how to get along and be peaceful, and within no time, we were able to make things work. Read more about blended families here.
