They may not be related by blood, but they are truly daddy and daughter. My husband goes above and beyond to love and care for her as his own. When she cries, he’s there. When she needs him, he’s there.
We don’t use the word stepfather—because he is her father. From the moment he fell in love with me, he also fell in love with my daughter. She was just 9 months old then, and now, as she’s about to turn 3, she has become the ultimate daddy’s girl. They are inseparable.
His love runs so deep that he’s decided to make it official—he’s in the process of adopting her. Soon, they’ll be “officially” daddy and daughter, though their bond has always been undeniable.
This picture was taken at 2 a.m., when he snuck home from work after being gone for 14 days—just to calm her down because she missed him. That’s the kind of father he is.
