Just a beautiful and sad story I stumbled across online. Rather than resurrect the old thread on guys who have done incredible things Im sharing it here (mods feel free to merge, just didn't want to reopen a zombie thread) Very sad but also beautiful and inspiring…

Well that's me destroyed.

What a great guy, and proof that fathering doesn't always mean shared DNA. I hope that little girl grows up to be magnificent, as a tribute to him as well as to herself.

Lovely story but I wouldn't disrespect the relationship by calling him a step dad. He raised that girl, he adopted her. He's her dad.
