No children of my own, but i was a good stepfather to W's daughter while she was growing up and into adulthood (she is 28yo now). when she went through her divorce a couple years ago, W and I helped her through.
W and I have 2 cats who are like our children and I am a good "parent" to them.
Love W's family very much and get along with all of them. They are wonderful people. I can laugh and cry with all of them.
As mentioned before, I loved her parents like they were my own. They were role models for me and always stood by my side. W always said she would never forget what i did for her parents the 2 1/2 yrs they were sick and how i was there for the family after her mom passed and then her dad.
W's family has a summer home & boathouse. I put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into maintenance, etc. to keep the place in good shape.
I enjoyed the same interests as W. She would always laugh that I was the only guy she knew that would take her to the mall and not complain about being there for 6 hours.
I volunteer for several Special Olympic events throughout the year.
I volunteer for church functions and serve as a trustee.
I volunteer at our local zoo.
I have been mentoring my 15 year old nephew.
I'm active into running and exercising. goal is to run a marathon.
