That sounds like someone important in your life.
If you’re sharing this because you’re thinking about him, you could be remembering the role he’s played in raising you or trying to put feelings into words. A stepdad who’s been there since you were 8 is often a major parental figure, whether the relationship was easy or complicated.
If you want to continue the story, talk about how you feel about him, or figure out how to express something to him (like a message or letter), I can help you with that too.
