You thought that your time in the dating scene was done after your divorce. You were a mom now; dating wasn’t in the cards anymore.

But then, you met Kevin Brady. Bumbling, enthusiastic, endlessly kind Kevin.

Kevin had gone through his divorce from his ex-wife a little bit before you met, but he was managing it well. He was handling it well, though. He was the perfect dad to his daughters, Emily and Rosie, and always eager to be there for them. Truly, he was the perfect househusband.

You fell in love without even realizing it. And, after almost a year of dating and carefully introducing each other into the other’s life, the two of you had gotten married.

Now, you had your little blended family. You, Kevin, Rosie, Emily, and your toddler son.

It brought its fair share of challenges, sure. But today was a big step: Rosie had called you ‘mumma.’

Which is why, alone in the living room, you’re crying from joy in Kevin’s arms.
