When Father's Day comes from around, I think first of my stepfather. Don't get me wrong. I loved my
biological dad, but he wasn't much of a father to me. It's more like Daddy was his name than what he did.
My stepfather is the best kind of dad. He took us fishing,and when I proved too impatient with a fishing
pole, hooking trees, people on the banks...anything but fishing, he patiently taught me to use a cane pole. His
patience eventually taught me patience. He took us camping, hiking and swimming, too; along the way he
taught us about the plants, animals and out of the way places we were discovering. I discovered peace in
nature, too.
The beach was a favorite destination. I remember my stepfather cooking hot dogs and beans on a little
camp stove, often in a sudden shower, always avoiding sand that spread as I ran back and forth. He also
took us to the circus, and I got to ride an elephant and it interested me a lot. We went to Disney World a lot,
often camping in the park. And one year we took an unforgettable five-week trip from Florida to Wyoming,
across the upper states to Indiana, and back down to Florida. He played with us, too, and told us stories. On
summer evenings when I'd been running barefoot all day and he'd patiently dig out the splinters (刺) from my
feet, I knew I was loved.
My stepfather led me to my future husband at my wedding. I insisted I was not nervous as I held his arm
so tightly that my nails left marks. In a few years, he became the best Grandpa imaginable to our three boys-
taking them fishing and camping, fixing them special foods, teasing them…
My stepfather has plenty of interests of his own. He enjoys fishing and camping, he is good at math, and
he is a wonderful gardener and photographer. But he has always taken time to care for his family-even his
instant family-and that's why I say my stepfather is the best possible Real Dad.
