Step Dad here too. My daughter is 11 now and my wife's daughter is 17. She wrote me a letter explaining to me she wants to call me dad. I get this. Hugs.
It's a lovely bond and one I'm obviously very grateful for. Being a standup stepparent can make such a positive impact! No surprise to me that you're doing just that.
BEING a step dad is pretty great too! I have two kids of my own — a son and a daughter — but inherited three bonus kids (all girls) when I remarried about five years ago. It’s mostly a cheerleading role, but also goes a long way toward combatting the FOMO those three new daughters would otherwise have over an intact family.

Love this, Ed. I think that great stepparents our unsung heroes. Hope you had a great day with all of your kids!
