Stepdad vs Biological Dad
Rough Draft #1
Argument: “Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.” Unknown. My biological father is not my dad. My mother’s boyfriend is the man I consider my dad.
Characters:
-Mother: Stephanie Clark (Moreno)
-Father: John Clark
-Mother’s boyfriend: Adam Brady
Memories:
John Clark- I remember my mother asking me if I wanted to talk to my father. I remember seeing him and feeling overjoyed that I now had my father in my life. I remember when he broke my heart 3 times. Once when I was a child, once as a teenager, and finally as an adult. I remember my Navy Recruiter telling me that my father almost didn’t sign the consent form for me to leave for bootcamp
Adam Brady: He has always been there since 2013 and supported me in whatever I wanted to do. The late-night drives with my mom and her boyfriend are some of the best memories. My mom’s boyfriend helped raise even though he had two other daughters. I remember being nervous before asking him if I could call him dad and almost crying when he said he has always considered me his daughter.
