The Dad & Stepdad Alliance
Maybe you saw the story about the dad who before walking his daughter down the aisle at her wedding said, "I'll be back," and then went and grabbed the arm of his daughter's stepdad and said, "Come on. You helped raise her, help me walk our daughter down the aisle." Wow. After years of animosity and competition he said "our daughter." Next thing you know, the daughter is crying, the stepdad is crying...everyone is crying. Now that kind of selflessness is how you bless a child and change a nation.
