My chosen dad

Good evening everyone, on this post I wanted to tell you all about my dad and how I met him. So, I'm a 25-years-old gay guy from Italy and a little more than a year ago I entered in an art group that focuses on the male form and right from the start it's creator (we'll call him Ser) always treated me and the others so incredibly kindly, not sparing any compliment and building up our self esteem. Ser is a 50-years-old gay man from America and he's married. Time passes and Ser and all the othe members help me through some hardships and we grow closer together. One day, as I was chatting in private with Ser, I get a gut feeling, something that I needed to tell him even tho it could make or break our bond. I asked him: "Ser, I know it may be weird and if you're uncomfortable you don't have to reply, can I call you dad?" After that fateful question of mine he was surprised but he said yes and from there our bond grew even stronger and deeper. Also, one time, Ser told me that the reason he was so pleasantly surprised by my request was because he always wanted to have a child but his husband didn't so me asking me thar was a fortuitous coincidence.

I love him so much and I know it may sound weird but even though aren't actually related I feel like he's my actual father! He's so incredibly kind, caring and he understands me!
