DEAR ABBY: In this day of many divorces and remarriages involving children and the attending problems of blended families, I thought you might find a positive note refreshing.
Nine years ago, I married a man who had three daughters from an earlier marriage. I had three sons and a daughter. They were all young adults, and we were a little uneasy about the outcome of the blended families.
I am proud to say that everything has worked out beautifully. Why? Because all our children loved us enough to do everything they could to ensure that we found happiness with our new spouse.
How could we not love each other's children for caring so much? Love begets love when you let it. We feel so rich, not financially, but where it counts the most. -- CAROL OSBORNE, DOWNINGTOWN, PA.
P.S. Keep up the good work with your sensible, compassionate and realistic advice.
