I Married My Fathers Friend, I Was Stunned When I Saw What He Started Doing on Our Wedding Night

Amber had given up on love until she met Steve, her father’s old friend, at a BBQ. Their whirlwind romance led to marriage, and everything seemed perfect—until their wedding night revealed an unsettling secret that changed everything.

As Amber arrived at her parents’ house, she was greeted by the familiar chaos of a family BBQ. Her father introduced her to Steve, a ruggedly handsome man with warm eyes that sparked an unexpected flutter in her heart. Despite her reluctance to pursue love, the connection was undeniable.

After the BBQ, when her car wouldn’t start, Steve offered to help. With a simple fix, he not only got her car running but also asked her out for dinner. Amber, drawn to him, agreed, marking the start of a relationship that felt right.

Fast forward six months, and Amber stood in front of the mirror in her childhood bedroom, dressed in a wedding gown. At the altar, she felt a calm certainty as she and Steve exchanged vows, finally becoming husband and wife.

But that night, Amber was stunned to find Steve talking to someone who wasn’t there. When she confronted him, he revealed he was speaking to his deceased daughter, Stacy, who had died in a car accident. His grief was palpable, and instead of feeling frightened, Amber felt compassion for him.

Sitting beside him, she offered her understanding. They discussed seeking help together, acknowledging that they could carry their burdens as a team. As they embraced, Amber realized that love isn’t about perfection—it’s about sharing scars and finding solace in each other.

In that moment, she knew their journey together was just beginning.

Wish list written by a foster child in Oklahoma

Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is a non-profit organization devoted to reform of abused children. According to their website, their main goal is to “educate the public on all aspects of child abuse such as symptoms, intervention, prevention, statistics, reporting, and helping victims locate the proper resources necessary to achieve a full recovery.”

Recently, the organization shared a heartbreaking list written by a child from Oklahoma who ended up in the foster system after enduring severe abuse from both his parents who were heavy alcoholics. The boy never experienced love or the joys a childhood normally brings. All he ever knew was negligence and starvation.

Years went by before a neighbor noticed that horrible things were taking place in the boy’s home and decided to alert social services.

Once police intervened, the boy was taken to the Dreamcatchers for Abused Children organization who made sure the little one ends in a new and loving home.

Finally, when the organization found the perfect family and shared the great news with the boy, he made a wish list on which he included all the things he wanted in his new forever home.

Needless to say, the list melted many people’s hearts. Many took their time to comment how the things on the list are not something a child should dream of because they should have them automatically as most of them are just basic needs.

This is the list:

“Things I want in my family:
I want food and water.
Don’t hit on me.
A house with running water and lights.
I want love.
Mom and dad don’t fight.
I want no drugs.
Don’t kill my pets.
Help with school.
Nice clean clothes.
No lice. No bug in house.
Clean house.
Clean bed with covers.
Don’t sell my toys.
Treated fair.
Don’t get drunk.
Tv in house.
Let me keep my school stuff.
Nice shoes.
My own comb soap. Nice house and safe and heater coat.
Toothbrush.”

This list is a reminder that we should never take the things we have for granted.
