She was a five-year-old girl with very fine golden hair when I first met her. She was carrying a bowl of _36_. I was 29 at that time and suffering from the flu.
Her mom and I had been friends for years._37 that friendship grew into care, from care into _38_ and marriage. Marriage brought the three of us together as a _39_. At first I was afraid to be a “stepfather”. Therefore, I tried not to come _40_ my future daughter and her 41 father. I acted in that way in order to be liked. However, 42 she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to 43 with her.
Once her school required the parents to individually write an open and 44 letter to our children. I wrote a letter about a little golden-haired girl who had 45 me a bowl of soup when I needed 46 .
A week later, all the parents 47 together with our children. The students were allowed to make a few statements. I was 48 to hear what my daughter would say.
Finally my daughter 49 make her way up to the microphone. She said something like others and then 50 , “At this very moment, I just want to say …I love you, Father.”
Immediately people around me started 51 at me. For a teenage girl to say 52 in front of so many people, “I love you,” took a great deal of courage.
Since then I have 53 to understand I didn’t need to have any 54 about being a stepfather. I can still 55 honest love with the same little girl I met so many years before － carrying a bowl full of what turned out to be kindness. I can also be friends with the girl － my dear daughter.
