#2 This person who made sure his family was there for this big moment:

Only the ones closest to me know this… the person who I consider my “dad,” isn’t my biological dad. The man in this video has been in my life since I was 8 months old and raised me as his own. It’s long overdue, but I finally asked him to officially adopt me. love you popspic.twitter.com/OUfIGW5XWL
