Unconditional Love

A woman named Candice Curry wanted to hate her daughter’s beautiful stepmom but wound up appreciating the “young, sweet woman.” She wrote on her blog: “I wanted to resent you but you made it impossible and I quickly grew thankful for you….You’ve accepted our daughter from the very start and have unconditionally loved both her and her daddy, that’s a true gift to all of us. You’ve included our daughter in everything you do and make her feel loved and accepted. You put her relationship with her daddy above yours and only a brave and courageous woman knows how to do that with such grace.”
Making Good On A Promise

A woman named Kati talked about her incredible relationship with her stepdad in a video on Upworthy. He wrote her a letter, saying: “Kati, what a gift you have been to my life. I’ll never forget the first time I laid eyes on you. You seemed to have a love of life that few little girls had. As your mother and I fell in love, it was easy for me to fall in love with you too.” Kati said, “He just stepped up. He knew I needed a strong father role and he just did it. But at the same time he just wanted to love and treat me as his own.”
