This song is very personal to me. My dad passed away of cancer when I was 10. I grew up without a father but had the best mother. Fast forward to when I met this girl. I wasn't looking to meeting anyone but we clicked. She had a son from a previous marriage. He was about 13 months old and just learning to walk. He and I clicked as well. We were all three a tight little unit. We never went anywhere without taking her son with us. It was package deal and I was more than happy to have them both. We were later married and I adopted him. Raised him as my own. Taught him how to play baseball and coached his teams. We later added a daughter of our own. Now he is all grown up in his mid 20s and he has almost nothing to do with me. As far as I know he doesn't know or see his biological father. It's heart breaking but this song means so much to me.
