1. “The cute little girl is my cousin and my daughter.”

“This is my Uncle David, who passed away 22 years ago today, holding his little daughter (my cousin). Shortly after he passed away, my husband and I adopted her, and my cousin became my daughter.

We love her very much and join her in celebrating her biological father’s life on this day. This is one of the few photographs she has with him, and she cherishes it. She keeps it on her desk year-round, but she has been carrying it with her from room to room today.” @Beautiful-Card7979 / Reddit
