It’s wonderful that the two of you have carved out a close relationship. I can imagine that it would be difficult to all of a sudden have a father figure at the age of 18, but incredible that you see him as your father. That’s good stock on both sides 🙂

I love the yin & yang of your relationship. The only father I have had in my life came into it when I was 3 years old. He is my Dad & he means the world to me. Sometimes the most special people don’t have to be blood 🙂

That was such a great post. (Though I have to admit, the idea of a donation to the NRA in your name made me laugh!)

I met my step-daughter when she was 15–when we first started out in our relationship, we had some really hard times–she had been an only child for all her life and when they moved in with me, I had 15 and 16 year old daughters. Suddenly she had to share her dad with three more women. She is now 36 and has asked ME to be her mother of the bride at her wedding–I was sooo honored to be asked. We have a great, loving relationship now, something I never thought would happen. I am so glad you have your Dad, and that you speak about him so sweetly in public.

What a great post! <3 I have a great step-dad, too, but he came into my life a lot younger, and after my first dad died. I love them both immensely and have never felt the need to use the "step" either! Happy Thanksgiving!

It is true and amazing how we are able to love the people in our lives despite our differences. My FIL is very similar to what you described in the post… but I always respect him since we don’t talk politics when we get together…

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

What a nice tribute to him! You are very lucky to have that kind of relationship with a step parent. I know a lot of people who don’t. Happy Thanksgiving Mami!

Dads and daughters…sometimes, it’s complicated. I’m glad you each can love each other past the differences 🙂

OK, I have to admit to laughing about the NRA donation. I totally get your anger, but the sneakiness of that tickles me!
I am happy you have that relationship, and I hope someday my kids appreciate their relationship with their stepfather (my husband) as much as you do.
