Single Dad’s Story Of Raising His 1-Month-Old Daughter Alone Will Make You Bawl Like A Baby

Richard and Persephone’s story doesn’t end there. Richard eventually went on to find Jessica, a wonderful girl who helps make him happy and more importantly fills a huge gap in Persephone’s life. Some people may not feel comfortable with someone else stepping in as a child’s mother. To those people, I say shut it! He says it the best!

When she cries out for Mommy it is Jennifer that she requests.

That is all the matters! Jessica helps fill a void in this little girl’s life that otherwise would be empty. She helped open the doors to a life that Johnson and Persephone might have never been able to imagine. Especially, In the months after her mother decided to leave her.

This lovely lady is my girlfriend and Persephone[‘s] wonderful and gorgeous Mother Jennifer.

We had met at the mall while I pathetically attempted to catch her attention by asking if she could help me pick out clothes for Persephone.

I explained that I wasn’t sure what actually matched and need some pointers considering my own closet had consisted of nothing but black, faded black, and dark black clothes.

We had talked for months before I allowed her to meet Persephone. Upon meeting her Persephone had made the choice that this would be her mommy.

Persephone wasn’t a fan of women and would normally shun away from them. She had only known her bearded father and his friends.

The first time they had met Persephone had cried to be held by Jennifer.

Fast forward to today, Jennifer has helped us become the family we desperately wanted to be. Persephone knows no other woman other than her as mommy.

When she cries out for Mommy it is Jennifer that she requests.

She has taken on a part of Jennifer’s personality. It is truly amazing to see the two of them bound so strongly.

Jennifer’s family has also taken the spot of grandparents, cousins, great grand parents, etc.

They have shown her so much love and acceptance I can not begin to explain.

Life isn’t about when the book ends, it’s about how you decide to start the next story in your series.
