Steve married my mom, a young widow with 3 children, and raised us and provided the best they could for us.
I can't imagine jumping into a similar situation. I think I would have ran away as fast as I could.
Imagine if that was you.
Hell Dad and I talked about this as I got older and even tho our early years were tumultuous at best, I believe we learned to respect and love each other.
I respected him for his sacrifice for us.
My Dad Stephen P. Jansen is a good man who loved my family of my wife Shari, my daughters Amy, Katy, Lynn and Magz, My grandbabies Jazmine, Randy Jr., Faith, Nathan, Addison, Rosalie and Levi.
My son's in law Shannon and Brandon.
I have receipts of this in the smile of his in our pictures of all of us celebrating different events.
Heartfelt gratitude for all you have done for me and mine!
Luv ya Pop.
