Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life that want you in theirs. My step dad would do anything to make me smile and who loved me no matter what! Rest in Peace Ken and thank you for loving me and accepting me as your own throughout the years! There are no words to express what you meant to me and for being the dad you didn’t have to be.
