Sonja, Jon, Justin, Rusty & Shawn (I promise to get a better picture)
I met Sonja and her three small son's...Justin, 9; Rusty, 7 and Shawn, 7 in January, 1999. At that time Sonja was dating my youngest step-son, Michael. Sonja and Michael, went their separate ways, but he had brought this wonderful person and her boys into my life.
You will notice a 4th young man in the above picture..that is Jon. Sonja had Jon when she was 16 and gave him up to an adult family that could give him all the things she couldn't at 16. Now they have been reunited, thanks to his mother and father, who have always known how to find Sonja and always told Jon he was adopted.
Sonja and the three boys moved in with me after my Pete died. Rusty told me once that they were moving in with me, because I needed hugs...and he willingly gives me all the hugs I want.
