"A Step Parent is a truly amazing person. They made a choice to love another child as their own."

Dear Stepdad,

I want to first start off by saying thank you. Thank you for taking me in as your own child. When my mom decided to start dating again I was scared that I was going to get a person that wouldn't love me or my sister as their own child. I felt that we would be pushed to the side and you would not care for me or my little sister, but you were quite the opposite of a terrible step-parent. You made it known that yes I am not your real dad, but I am going to be the best step-dad that I can possibly be to you and your sister. You make my life very exciting and there is never a dull moment with you around. When you married my mom, I was terrified. I had heard such terrible thing about step-parents and you were far from it. I couldn't imagine not having you in my life. You treated me like your own child when you didn't have to. We take countless trips together and have made such amazing memories with one another. I love that you are so handy and when something needs to be done it gets done no matter what it is. Life can be a little crazy sometimes and I don't get to thank you for all of the amazing things that you have done in my life. You have had such an amazing impact on my life, and I just want to thank you so much. I love you.

Love,

Your Stepchild
