Her stepfather wrote her a daily note for 6 years, she kept them and gave them to him

“Father is not the one who begets, but the one who breeds” is a phrase that can sound very worn and at a certain point repetitive, until someone comes along and gives it meaning. As is the case of Brian Sandusky, a stepfather who made a difference and is the maximum representation that it is not necessary to have the same blood to be called “dad”.

The story of Brian Sandusky and his stepdaughter Sophia Wilcox begins when through his account of TwitterSophia shared a video of his stepfather’s reaction when he opened the present he prepared for Father’s Day.

If there’s one thing we can agree on, it’s that high school days can be tough, and Brian knew that, so he found a way to encourage Sophia as she went through this difficult time. To reinforce morale and confidence in his stepdaughter, Brian chose to leave small notes with motivational and supportive phrases on her bedroom door every day.

I wanted to encourage her and make her feel supported in every challenge she faced.

Brian would never have imagined that Sophia treasured and saved each one of those notes for future use with one simple goal: to give her a gift that was more than just a “thank you”.

The perfect occasion to reward so many years of love and care has arrived, so Sophia chose Father’s Day to give Brian that very special gift.

The gift consisted of a frame that contained all those sticky notes that his father used to write to him daily six years ago, accompanied by a photo together.

During high school, my stepfather used to leave me a note on my door every day to inspire me. Well, keep those notes and it’s been six years since then. Today I returned those notes.

Sophia wanted to immortalize the moment by recording her stepfather’s reaction to receiving her gift. When she saw that her daughter kept every one of her messages, Brian was so moved that she couldn’t hold back her tears.

These are all your notes. keep them all. Love you!

Don’t miss this emotional moment:

One more proof that a father is not the one who begets, but the one who takes care of you and supports you with all his love.
