I had one of the best stepfathers that a young boy could hope for. His teachings (through how he lives) have taught me how to be a step-dad to my fiances’ daughter.
I shudder to think what I would have grown up to be like had that man NOT come into the lives of my brother and I, when he did NOT have to and showed us what real men are like, how to properly support your children and how to treat a lady right.
God Bless YOU and all step-parents out there who are doing RIGHT by their chosen families.
Funny. I, too, was raised by a stepfather after my dad passed when I was 5.
But, you know, those of us who are success stories in this context are not newsworthy. We just do what we do.
I’m good with that.
