#5 I was a teenager when my mom married my stepdad, so it was difficult for me to accept a new person in the role of "dad" for me. We did find that we had somethings in common, like computers and technology. He has also been a great dad to my little sister(9 years younger than me).

#6 I am still not that close to my stepdad, but he makes my mom happy and was there for her after my dad passed away. He gave me a new family and lots of support from that family.
#7 I met my biological father again when I was 19. I had hoped through all the years of not knowing him, that he would sometimes send me stuff for my birthday. Like when I turned 16, a car would have been nice. Then 18, something for becoming an adult. However, my mom and I made contact with him when I was going to go to college. He lived in the state that I wanted to go to school in. That state's residency requirements was only for parents, so I could get in-state tuition. He wrote back with his information and said I looked like a "lovely young lady" (we sent a senior pic with the request). That was all
#8 After I started school I contacted him again because his requirement of paying child support had stopped and I was wondering if he could help me with school. He said he wanted to met me. We met up for lunch. He is 14 years older than my mom, so it is almost like he is a grandfather to me than a father. He is very christian, conservative and opinionated (I am opinionated too, so I guess I get that from him). We continued to have lunch once a week throughout my college career. He soon figured out I was gay and wanted me to go to an ex-gay camp (to be "converted" straight). I told him I would not, and he said that he didn't want to know about that part of my life. I told him when I found someone to spend the rest of my life with, he couldn't be part of my life, because that would be my life.
#9 I moved out of state after I graduated college, met my wife, got married and moved back to the state he lives in. He met my wife, fell in love and now says that she is his favorite daughter-in-law ( I have two older half brothers from him that are married). He has changed a lot and we have grown closer. My wife has been a great part of that. She is a buffer for us because we are so similar but different that we .... heads a lot. But that is part of it. You can't pick your family, you can only hope they love and accept you. It took a while but he does now and I am able to learn about my heritage and where I come from because we have a relationship now.
#10 I have 3 dads. 1) A biological father who I now have a relationship with after 19 years. He is an old man set in his ways but very loving and full of history. 2) A man that raised me from ages 4-11 that made a lasting impact on my life and taught me who I am 3) A stepdad that supports my mom and my family and loves me in his own way.
Families can be difficult but I am grateful for the men in my life that have helped me grow and be the person I am today.
Love you dads!

#1-I love my father because he was the most influential man in my life,and that is the way it is supposed to be!
3) I was an "oops" baby, the only girl - and with four older brothers (the youngest was 7 at the time of my birth) so yes, I was definitely a "Daddy's Girl" and continued to sit on his lap until he became frail in his elder years, then I would still sit on the arm of the chair next to him. He was an amazing Father and an amazing man.
#2-I love my dad cuz he was hot-tempered and smart as a whip-taught me math and politics.
4) My Father chose to be my son's caregiver when my mother couldn't physically care for him - it was amazing watching him with that baby - as when we were children he worked so hard to provide for us. I love the caring and the bond he created with my son.
I just wanted to thank a few fathers right now. My father just went out of his way and took a vacation to help get my son up to see me almost 2 states away. I have been having some hard times as of recently, and his love and guidance throughout this whole situation has been a godsend for me. I am extremely thankful for all his hard work, and all that he has done. I love my dad so much. I also got to see my grandfather while I was down there. We had all 4 generations of our family line all together at once. It felt great. I am extremely grateful and thankful for both my father and my grandfather, as well as my son, and the presence they all have in my life. I love them very much. Thanks for this contest, and for all the great fathers out there. God bless!

I love my dad because not only does he help his own family, but has helped countless numbers of families. I have seen him gather people to our house who were stuck in our city with no place to go because of a hurricane. We fed these strangers and gave them a place to sleep. Because of my dad I am a better person.
