“You are a reflective stepfather. When you excel, you ponder how to do even better; when you truly falter, you courageously set aside pride to acknowledge mistakes and make amends. You refuse to be a peripheral father, instead striving to engage in every aspect of your child’s life, yearning to build a genuine bond with Martz. I can hardly imagine becoming a stepmother myself, and for this I deeply thank you. Whether or not we have more children in the future, you will always be a perfect father. ”
