Our parents are going to be our best friends from the time that we are very young. They are the first relationship we have in our lives and they continue to be there for us through thick and thin.

Parenthood is sometimes described as being a lifelong project, and I think any parent can appreciate that fact. When necessary, they can take what they have and turn it into something even more special.

In the following story, you get to hear about a parent who stood by their child through a most difficult situation. In the end, they came out with a tighter bond, which is the way it should be.

I discovered that my fiancé had cheated on me a few days before our wedding.

I just informed my father about it. He stated, “We cannot cancel the wedding now. The invites have already been mailed.” On the day, as he led me down the aisle, I observed something unusual: the aisle did not lead to the altar. Instead, it curled softly out a side door, away from the waiting visitors. Confused, I looked at him, and he winked. “Dad, what’s going on?” I asked.

He said, “You do not have to go through with this. I informed the guests that the wedding has been postponed owing to a personal situation. They will understand. You don’t need to explain anything to anyone today.

I felt a sense of relaxation rush over me. When we stepped outdoors, I noticed a beautifully decorated garden with a small group of my closest friends and family gathering around a cozy setting. There was no indication of a wedding ceremony, only a celebration of love and support.
