Am so sorry for your loss, it can tell how much you love for father because you won't share it to the world if he wasn't very specific to you. Am jealous when I read or hear stories of how much their father loves them coz I kind of lost that feeling after my father came home to us and met the real him. He wasn't a father figure not even a good guardian for the least.
I hope you find strength through time .❤️
I think that blood has no weight when there is upbringing with love, education, values and protection. It doesn't matter who your father is, it matters that you consider him as such. Your mother is also your father, my dad played both roles, mother and father, as well as friend, brother and we even had many differences in beliefs and politics. And at least, we are not alone, our family or even friends are part of a fraternal love, without labels.
Thanks for stopping by and reading, commenting and understanding. You are a very nice person, don't forget that. Blessings to you and yours. ♥ :D
