Never consider them "step"!  If you raised them...you are one of their parents! Life has given them an "extra" mom!  Motherhood is difficult enough for one mom...how lucky to have two mothers that love a child enough to work towards the common goal of raising one terrific kid! These children are lucky to have you for a mom ... not a stepmom...but a mom... someone that cares for them so much to have taken on the "package"!  I always tell people that my kids and I are a "package deal"...  you can find some wonderful quotes about all kids at your local scrapbook store....I should know....I think I have bought out my local store!

I met my future step father one night at my mother's house and we got along really well. The next morning he walked in the kitchen for breakfast and everyone said 'good morning'. \nI said 'good grief' !!! We got along like a house on fire after that.

On Children\n\nAnd a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children." \n\nAnd he said: \n\nYour children are not your children. \n\nThey are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. \n\nThey come through you but not from you, \n\nAnd though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. \n\nYou may give them your love but not your thoughts. \n\nFor they have their own thoughts. \n\nYou may house their bodies but not their souls, \n\nFor their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. \n\nYou may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. \n\nFor life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. \n\nYou are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. \n\nThe archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. \n\nLet your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; \n\nFor even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Something consumable; something that's used up.  (No, I'm not thinking about a 12-pack of toilet paper.)  Fancy chocolates?  Some wonderful smoked salmon from the Pacific Northwest?  \n\nGift certificates for something she likes to do.  Does she like to eat out?  Does she like to go out with "the girls"?  Does she like to go to movies at an art theatre?  How about a season pass?\n\nA framed photo of you, or of relatives.  Something you make for her.  Do you write poetry?  A framed photo of you, with one of your poems in the frame.\n\nDoes she know how to use the computer?  Does she want to learn?  Could you teach her?  Are you nearby?  A coupon book of "free coupons" for her to use to call you up and have you come over and teach her computer use, maybe?\n\n(My mom just turned 90 and about five years ago my sister had the "brilliant" idea that Mother needed to be able to get email.  Mother did not want to do this, at all, and fought it all the way.  She is SO glad, now, that she made the effort and is learning this.  She needs a lot of support from the younger family members, though, to keep the computer going: virus settings updated, resolving email problems, and on and on.)\n\nWhat does she like to do, or what did she do when she was young that she hasn't done in a while?  Photography?  Art?  How about a gift certificate to a local six-week class?  Rekindle her old interests.\n\nShe'd probably just enjoy spending time with her grandchild.  Ever think of just bringing over a tape recorder, video recorder, or whatever, and asking her questions about her life and writing them down?  You'll value the time you took, later, and she'll love spending the time with you.\n\nDoes she garden?  Does she enjoy looking at a beautiful garden?  Could you offer to help her plant her garden in the spring, or help plant fall bulbs?\n\nOnce I refused to join my siblings in buying my mom "more jewelry" and instead brought over bulbs and planted them.  Her birthday is in November.  The bulbs still pop up every spring and she always tells me "oh, the tulips are up, and are so pretty."  As people age, seeing the flowers in the spring, or having that to look forward to, can keep them motivated to make it through another winter.  \n\nThink about who she is, what she loves, what she enjoys, and what would make her life even more enjoyable.  My mom loves the farm, her garden and gardening, and her kids.  Learning the computer has enabled her to keep in touch much easier with her kids, grandkids, and now great-grandkids, and soon, great-great grandkids!

Poems and songs written for the sibling are always great, so are drawings and paintings.  You can supply them with spare prints of pictures and they can make collages.  Or, they could make fancy frames to put a picture in.
