Step-less Fathers...*cheers*

Somewhere in Iowa a stepfather rearranges his schedule to take Daughter to urgent care. He patiently waits amongst the room of ill folks (keeping his aversion to sick folks at bay) and when given the prescription dutifully drives to pharmacy and waits yet again all in an effort to assist her in a road to recovery.
Somewhere else, around the metro area, a biological ‘father’, ignores repeated phone calls and texts. Already gives the bare minimum…wait what is less than bare minimum….to his child’s upbringing and yet is visiting Sleepyville, enjoying the benefits of never having to miss a wink of sleep due to a child’s illness.
Here’s to all the men who step up to the plate another man left on the table!
