It’s really beautiful seeing everyone’s posts about their fathers. Lots of them are accompanied by a photo of them as a baby with their dad, but my story is a little bit different.
I have a Tom. He likes computers, guitars, tanks, music made before the 90′s and a Japanese girl-group called Band-Maid. Tom came into our lives in 2004, when we needed him most. It takes a special person to not only accept my crazy mother (just kidding Mom! I love you!) But to take on her three daughters (14, 15, and 22) as well! The day I graduated from uni they called for all the parents to stand up, and seeing him standing beside my mom brought me to tears. If you don’t come from a broken home I don’t expect you to understand. We never officially acknowledged him as “Dad”, he just became that, at least for me.
So this is the oldest picture I have (featuring my mom hugging a bear), on our first of many family vacations. From day one he’s always been such a huge support system and I just hope he knows how much I appreciate everything he’s ever done for us.
