Hello, My fellow Steeminian Community.
It is such a pleasure and honor being here, on Steemit platform, writing another post about something which has marked all my life and changed my way to see my inner part, and learn to trust and love myself.
When I was growing up, I realised that I was into girlie stuff such as playing Barbie dolls with my sister Elizabeth who is 3 years younger than me, putting on makeup or wearing my mother's outftits and high heel shoes. I even noticed some sort of acttraction with some of my boy classmates at school, this event happend exactly when I was in 5 th grade I acknowledged Who I was at that time and who I am at the present, A Proud Gay Man.
In spite of my achievements as a profesional, I felt that I was missing something to complete my development as a human being but I did not what It was. I could feel my heart knew what I really needed and I would soon find it out.
One afternoon, I was heading towards the office when I suddenly came across anf acquaintance of mine and picked me up to work, we started chatting abou daily activities and she finally told me that her eldest daughter Yuhervis was driving her crazy due to her bad behaviour, she was indeed lost, into drug dealing and got pregnat for the third times. Yuhervis gave the two babies to her mother, It means that the Grandmother became their mother legally, and then, yurhervis wanted to get rid of the expecting child before noticing the belly get grown. Listening all this story, I came up with the idea to look after the unborn baby and be the father. I told my friend I would take care of her daughter's pregnancy and be the child's future and legal father. My friend got surprised and asked me whether I was sure what It meant, my answer was absolutely " YES". Yohervis got 4 months of pregnacy when I was first concious of my determination to be indeed A Lovely, Single and Gay Daddy.
So I become member of that family as if I were Yuhervis's couple (without touchin her) but only for being close of my future son, I took her to the Gynecologist for test that everything was ok with my baby, I bought her medicines, fruits and other personal stuff. I was very excited, I was looking forward to having my son in my arms. The last appointmet to the Doctor arrive to determine when It would be the Caesarean section and finally know the sex of my child, The Doctor told me according to the Ecosonogram was girl.
At last, the greatest day had arrived, my precious treasure, my beloved daughter was cuddled up in my arms, it was an unforgettable and amazing sensation when the nurse asked who Stephany's father was and I answered ME, she only gave me the baby, I hugged her softly with fear and broke donw to cry of joy.
My daily activities changed completely, I tried to visit my daughter's mother's house three times a day when possible to fulfill my daughter's needs for almost 5 months till one day Yuhervis my daughter's mom told that She did not want to take care of Stephany any more, she got bored of the same thing, she wasn't born to look after babies and I had to take my daughter with me away from her, she always knew Stephany belonged to me more than her for the LOVE I was giving to her, in fact, She had never felt for any of her three children, this is such an unfair issue of life because of the fact that I've got many closed, profesional, married close friends whose dream was having at least one child, they have not been able to make their dreams come true, they haven't had the same fortune as my daughter's mother who was blessed with the power of fertility though. She is a woman with a stone in her breast, instead of lovely mother heart.
Finally, my baby settled in her new house, our home. I truely learned many thing living with my Angel : The first one is that I have a wonderful, hard-working, selfless and loving mother from whom I learned and followed her model to bring up my daughter. the second is I trust more in myself, to be positive in tougher situations. Third and most important is that my main goal of living is not going around myself, everything changed I have to work harder for the future of my angel and my own, I have to show the world a single gay father is able to raise a baby by himself and be a good example that child can be broght up in a home with moral values and love.
First day at the beach. It was difficult to get her away from the water, She believed she was the little mermaid.
Stephany has a beautifully sparkling smile.
Her first day at the playgroup, She was 7 months old.
She is always the Queen of the group.
Her first Carnival Costume. She was not happy with it at all.
She was posing as a future Miss Venezuela.
She loves sleeping in my bed.
Teaching her how to give up using diaper. She might hate this photo.
She loves her chicken soup.
Nowadays, My seven years old baby, a smart, outgoing, talkative and lovely baby who just needed an opportunity to live and be loved, so I gave it to her.
I just wish that God would give the chance to see my angel grow up as a successful , professional and happily married woman.
I hope you enjoy part of my life, and recieve your opinion of my work as a single father.
