weren’t.
But what did biology have to do with the man who had been there for every important moment of my childhood?
He was there when I learned to walk.
He was there when I started school.
He was there when I graduated.
He was there when I got my first job.
He was there when I experienced heartbreak.
He was there when I needed someone to tell me that I would eventually be okay.
He didn’t simply help raise me.
He built a life around making sure I never felt abandoned.
And I loved him for it.
