He was forty-four when he walked into the lives of two very young children. He had already raised his two grown biological children. Then he took over the full-time responsibilities of another man’s biological children. Though the children could not have known it then, their new stepdad would have a profound effect on their lives. He would share in their thoughts and feelings as well as their successes and disappointments.

biological father could provide and Mr. Chauncy took it with pride. He was a role model in disguise.
Growing up, those two children named Amy and Alisha were very resentful of Mr.
Chauncy. “That wasn’t their dad; he was old fashioned and couldn’t tell them what to do.” They thought of him as a drill sergeant, being on a routine was his thing, but little did they know he was inspiring them to accomplish all their dreams. No matter what, “Mr. Old Fashioned” was there to take them to softball practice, coach their team, play basketball with them every night after dinner, take them to band practice or play anything they wanted him to do. Attending church regularly was his belief to staying united. Using the old saying was his favorite, “A family that stays together prays together.” “Mr. Old Fashioned” never missed a beat. In good times and bad, he was there as their biggest
fan.
As the years pasted and the children grew older, having kids of their own, they began to realize what a real father was. Mr. Chauncy exemplified the perfect example. He wasn’t just their step dad anymore but he was their father. This made them grateful and proud just to call him their dad. He never neglected his responsibilities to be a father. He inspired them to always work harder. He was one of the few people they could count on. He showed them in life you can achieve anything you want and more than anything he wanted to be their father. He gave them the dream that only most children desire. He instilled the love of a father. Now that he’s gone and the tears have been shed, the father who gave them love will always be admired. Those moments of having a father will never be forgotten for it’s the memories that will remain in their hearts forever. He left a legacy that will not be replaced; his guiding hand on their shoulder will be with them for the rest of their lives. To be a father it doesn’t require flesh and blood, it requires the heart to make you a father. Teach through example and giving love, should always be the best interest of the child. To be a participating father is to be a hero in disguise. A father never leaves his children to find their own way through the journey of life but holding their hands as they accomplish it together. Being the rock of strength and love is what a father should be, to weather any storm. To guide, mentor, to teach and support is all examples of a father.
