A young girl has melted internet hearts with an adorable letter to her mother’s fiance, thanking him for having more ‘faith’ in her than her real dad.

The ten-year-old penned the cute message after the pair went running together, saying ‘it made her night’.

‘Thank you for taking me to the park to run,’ the letter begins. ‘Most of all thank you for having faith in me.

‘I’m really looking forward to calling you Dad when you and mommy get married.’


Rather adorably, she adds: ‘Well my hand hurts now, so bye.’

The letter has been viewed thousands of times in less than 24 hours online.



‘My fiancee has two girls, one 10, one 3. Her ex was abusive and they broke up almost two years ago,’ the Reddit user who posted it explained.

‘Turned out her dad pretty much stopped acknowledging that they exist and I tried my best to pick up the slack, she told me that she watched her dad hit her mom, etc.’

The 22-year-old took the youngster running after watching her play football, saying he could ‘barely keep up’.

He added: ‘My step-dad always tried to be the best he could and now I really notice how much it took. I have to call him tomorrow.’
