He is my stepdad but married my widowed mum when I was 5yrs old. I am now 54. I am proud to call him dad. He is now 72 and has the most amazing sense of humour and determination not to give in to life's problems. Happily, I feel that much of my character comes from him. What about yours?

That is so lovely to hear a man say that. I lost my Dad a couple of years ago and he was the bestest Dad in the Whole Wide World. I think EVERYONE should feel that theirs is the best. I miss his humour and the looks we shared that had their own silent communication. He would drop whatever he was doing if any of us called and needed something- even at 2 in the morning! I hope others take the time to appreciate it like you when they have such a positive Dad. I am glad your Mom found love again and someone who honoured her children, too.

Am happy you have a great step father. My own father is a waste of space, an alcoholic and woman beater. Enough said about him.
My stepfather who has been with my mum since I was 10 am 37 now, I grew up thinkning what a wonderful man taking on a single parent with 4 teen girls. I would defend and priase him to anyone until recently when I found out he tried to kiss my sister ( who btw, was giong through a horrendous few years of people betraying her). I have not seen him since she told me. I know she is telling the truth. Am scared of when I do see him I have nothing to say to him ( well not without creating WW3) my mum is still with him ,she knows about it.
Now I tend to stay away from my family
I see other people with their parents and smile as I am not jealous as such of their happy relationships I guess it warms me to know that there are some real loving happy stepfathers/father daughter/son relationships out there.

Aaaaaaww! Mine`s great too. He`s in his sixties now, he`s been a professional boxer, marathon runner, singer in a band and worked hard scrimping and saving all his life to bring us all up.
Unfortunately he is now crippled with arthritis and can hardly walk and lives in constant pain. But he NEVER complains. Never. He is so proud that even though he is disabled he won`t apply for a parking badge to park in disabled spaces. He just wants to "get on with it" . An attitude and character rarely seen in today`s gimme gimme society.
Am I like him.. I don`t know , but I hope I do him proud.

Ill challenge you for the title of the worlds best dad!! I love mine to bits - hes a very quiet gentle man and loves his family to bits! he gave me every opportunity growing up - worked hard to give us the best life possible and gave us a very happy childhood.
Even now I absolutely adore him (and my mum - cant forget her!) to bits - I love nothing more than Sunday nights when me and my dad settle down to watch the sunday night film together whilst mum reads upstairs. Me him and a giant sized bar of galaxy chocolate!! My dads 71 now and I dread the inevitable time when I will no longer have him (or my mum) in my life.

My dad is fantastic. Always there for me no matter what. He is 49 and hes got a great sense of humor as well.
He is actually taking me out shopping this weekend to buy me some clothes for a holiday we are going on next year!
I love my dad to bits and would do anything for him like he would for me.

Your dad could not possibly be the best in the world because mine is!!My husband is stepfather to my 2 children, and he has made me belive that any man can father a child but it takes a very special man to be a stepfather

I can't say enough about my Dad...he was my bestfriend, my mentor and my hero... i always felt safe with him. i only got to see him on Sundays his day of rest...he worked very hard to give his family a home and a good life. He'd always be up at the crack of dawn and would come in from work late at night. Sunday was my fav day... i'd spend it either fishing with him, or on some DIY project he'd be working on around home... i missed my Dad when he died...

My dad is the greatest but it doesn't mean we don't fight but when he laughs your world bloom but when he cries its almost as if you don't want to be happy again. When I'm sad he is the one who can cheer me up. When I'm angry he is the only one who can tame my anger and most of all when I feel lost he is the one who shows me the way but secretly so that I feel independent.
Hey now I'm starting to wonder if I can ever live without him

We don't talk much since the botched William Tell incident. He's a good dad but can really hold a grudge.
