On this Father’s Day, I believe not only biological father should take a bow, but also step fathers. As the biological dad in a step family, I’m cutely aware of the fact that my daughter spends part of her time with her step dad and mum too. She’s shared by two families who love her. So while I’m going to enjoy this Father’s Day to the full list. My daughter’s step dad, please accept my gratitude. You are an important main influence for my daughter. And I appreciate your kindness love towards her. I hope one day society will have the courage to face up to the reality of step family situations. My dream is for step fathers and step mothers to each have their own special day of honor.
