Hi guys I am Garry, and this is my daughter Sophia. I am single dad and I have a very sad story to share. This picture was taken 13 years ago, Sophie is now 15 Sadly, her mother, the love of my life had to leave us early, when she gave birth to Sophie. As a single dad I did what I could. I can\u2019t be a mother and that is fact. But she always<\/p>\n
had all the necessary things and a roof under her head. I was a disciplinarian, so from an early age she was a helping hand. I did it for her own good<\/p>\n
I was strict but loving. Tough but gentle. I tried to play two roles that of a mother and that of a father. It wasn\u2019t easy as I didn\u2019t sign up for this.<\/p>\n
But I felt it was God that decided it this way. True I have been looking for a new romance, but at this age now I am starting to think that was it for me. But it wasn\u2019t like this for Sophie. Always a nice and well behaved girl. She found this immigrant boy Maurizio.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s eighteen and \u201ca tough guy.\u201d At first I didn\u2019t take it seriously I thought they were just kids. But few days later, when she went to school she forgot her phone at home. Usually she is very meticulous but this was a big blunder for her. One that broke my heart.<\/p>\n
And I remember it well, because I was drinking water at the kitchen when I heard the buzz. A message from this guy Maurizio. I felt like 15 years of parenting just went down the toilet, I was shaking and I couldn\u2019t believe what I read shook me.<\/p>\n
They weren\u2019t just teenagers flirting. Their messages spoke of deep feelings and secret meetings. I felt fear, betrayal, and, worst of all, like I had failed her. That evening, I sat Sophia down and showed her the message. She cried, confessed,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
