So, it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day f
14、or stepdads, too. Right? Well, it depends on what you read. A Google search brought up posts that say, for example,“ It“s on father“s dayfather“s day is for fathers, step-fathers and people who are like fathers to youit“s a day for making father figures feel special.“ Further searching found a Stepf
15、ather“s Day Facebook page that says, “The unofficial Stepfather“s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.“ Unfortunately, as of the publishing of this article, only 30 people have “liked“ the page.

They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildr
18、en. These unsung (未被颂扬的) family heroes deserve “official“ days of honor.

I“ve been married for years, but until six months ago, I could be a typical absent-minded hu
40、sband. Often I was just nodding when I was supposed to. When my wife asked, “ Did you even hear what I just said? “ I would defensively say, “Of course I did!“ In January, I began to lose my voice. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be re
41、quired for the first few weeks of my recovery. Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son looked puzzled because I wouldn“t answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn“t. Luckily, I“d recorded myself reading some of his favorite books. That would come in hand
42、y the next couple of weeks. When I got home, I noticed a “side effect“: as my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn“t just hearing her; I was listening to her.
