A family has gone viral after two dads, a biological dad and a stepdad, impressed the internet by joining forces and taking their little girl on a father-daughter dance together.
The two fathers, who have been praised by other parents for being so selfless, have brought the smile on Willow Mengon’s face and posed together with the girl for a sweet photo.
The photo was shared on Facebook by Texas-based Dylan Lenox who is about to get married to Sarah, the mother of Willow, and officially become the girl’s stepdad.
Along with Dylan (left) and Willow, David Mengon (right), Willow’s biological father, is also on the picture.
As the fathers want to prove, exes and new partners can and should go along for the sake of their children.
“Our daughter Willow. You may never know how your love has changed us all. The guy to the left is me (Daddy, Daddy Dylan or Bonus Dad), in the middle is, of course, our Princess Willow and the guy to the right is David (Daddy, Daddy David or biological Dad),” Dylan explained in a Facebook post that has been shared over 150,000 times.
“No we are not a same-sex couple, but we do share a daughter. David is Sarah’s ex-husband and I am the Fiancé. We have molded ourselves into one unique family, only for the sake of our children to know the power of love. Not only did I gain a daughter, I gained a brother and a best friend. Thank you Sarah for letting this all happen!”
He added:
“When we care more about our children (on both sides of the party) than the way society has taught us to be towards (ex’s/baby mommas/daddy’s) then walls will fall, life will be free of hatred and remorse, and our children will conquer the foolish ‘norms’ that media has shoved in our faces.
“He stays at our home when he visits because family is always welcome. He is not an outsider; he is and will always be a part of my life for the simple fact that we share the same daughter!
“Of course not a single moment would be like this without Sarah (mommy) and her kind and generous heart! Willow Grace you are loved by so many people in this world and your Daddies love you!”
Without a doubt, Willow is blessed to have such wonderful parents! If you agree, don’t forget to SHARE this post on Facebook and spread the positivity!
