I still remember standing at the back of the church after my daughter’s wedding & hearing the pastor say “You just won the Father of the Year Award today.” As a step-dad, my job from day 1 was to do no harm, love their mom, & be there. When she was gonna get married, Kelly said she wanted me to walk with her, but her dad would not allow it – in fact, made quite a little fuss. I told her it was her day not mine, but if I’m being honest there’s always been a little part of me that would have loved to have been able to be part of that. That’s why when I saw Kelsey’s video, I teared up.  She was walking down the aisle with her dad, who stopped, pulled the step-dad out & made him walk the rest of the way with them to the altar. After the video went viral, somebody asked him why & he said “Life for my little girl was easier because he was there.”  That’s grace.
