I still have a lump in my throat from reading this, you know, but I’m happy it all turned out all right. It’s unfair how we get stuck on things sometimes, when someone with a bit of suitable knowledge could unclog our emotions and set us free.

Give Ron a hug from me too, OK?

[...] mom has 8 kids born to her, and 3 more that she welcomed as adults when she married Ron after my first dad died. We don’t all end up in the same place at the same time too often. [...]

Wow that was tough to read! I don’t think it’s any easier whatever your age. I turned 50 this year. I lost my Mom in 2001 and my Dad this past March. They say the greatest pain is losing a child. I can’t imagine how that must hurt. I’m glad it all worked out and specially glad your children have a loving Grandpa. God bless.

I’m the step-daddy and my step kids are both very nice to me, but my youngest is the least nice. Her own father never paid a dime for her education, consistently disappointed her when she expected him to come pick her up for a visit, was ‘too busy’ for her and still doesn’t ever spend a nickel on her.
I am still waiting to be called “Dad” by her. Oh, well, forget that, I spose.

Thanks for posting this. I remarried when my daughter was 9. Since I’d been a divorced mom since she was one year old, it was quite an adjustment, but over the years, my husband has been a real daddy to her. Now we have a total of three daughters, and when he does something for one of them, he will occasionally say, “That’s what daddies do.” That’s why your post’s title caught my attention right away. Thanks again.
