A dad does NOT •have to be someone blood related. •have to live with you. •have to be a certain age older than you. A dad CAN • be someone un-blood related. • someone close your age •live anywhere A dad, in my eyes, is someone who treats you like a daughter. They look after you, they provide for you when needed, they make sure you're doing okay, they are there for you, they give you advice, they do all the things a parent SHOULD do. I have a dad. He is NOT an adult. He is around my age. He doesn't live close to me. He treats me how a dad should. I have rules, if I don't listen I get the consequences. He is basically raising me without even really having to raise me. To Protective Dad (@PurbleCat) I love you so much, Dad. No matter how old I get, I'll always be your Jelly Bean and your baby girl. I'll always be your daughter even though we aren't related and even though in reality, we are close to the same age. You're the most dad like figure in my life. My real Dad is always doin other stuff or he is fussing and yelling at me, Wise Dad is normally busy, and Crazy Dad hasn't been talking to me much. I love all my Dads but you, protective Dad, you're my main father figure. I'm glad your in my life. I love you always and forever, Dad. Love, Jelly Bean
