Daughter Shares Heartwarming Dedication To Man Who Stepped Up After Her Dad Walked Away

Parenting is not easy, and sometimes, people just can’t handle the pressure. This can cause a myriad of emotions for a child who doesn’t understand why their parent isn’t part of their lives. Sometimes, they are blessed with an adult who walks into their life in a step-parenting role and changes everything for the better.

Maya Jay’s dad wasn’t there for her, but Eric always was. She posted a dedication to Eric on her TikTok , and it’s positively beautiful. For all the times her dad let her down, Eric stepped up. Maya has pictures of the pair ready for a daddy/daughter event, on family vacations, and on holidays.

Maya Wasn’t the Only One Sobbing Over Her New Dad

After receiving 1.4 million views on TikTok, it was clear that Maya and Eric’s relationship is something special. Viewers flooded the comment section with kindness for the father/daughter duo.

Someone wrote, “The moment it transitioned from Eric to Dad, my face turned into a mess of tears.”

Maye responded, “DW I’ve been a mess since I made this, you’re not alone.”

A fellow stepdad loved Maya’s video, “I’m a stepdad, and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me. I cried a whole bunch of happy tears watching this so beautiful,” he wrote.

Maya further explained in the comment section that her dad never got sober to take care of his children, so Eric stepped in to raise Maya and her siblings.

Eric commented, “Life is a gift from God. I just need to fall in love with ya’ll and make life have a meaning.”

Maya responded, “Having you as a dad made life worth living we are so thankful for you dad. You make me the person I am today & I can never repay you for healing a child’s heart that you didn’t break.”
