Man reveals what his stepfather did for him after he got married to his mother

A young man has revealed how his stepfather had a great impact on him and his brother after he got married to their mother who was a widow for ten years.

Taking to Twitter, the young man shared the story in celebration of the stepfather's birthday as a way of appreciating him.

He wrote:

"My younger brother and I didn't know exactly how our father looked like before death came...one of the letters he wrote our mum was that we would attend Kings College and Oxford University. That was the last mail she read from him...10 yrs after this man right here married our mum

He was just out of seminary, never married. His path was clearly set for him as a Minister of the Gospel, that was all he wanted to be. But to go on, he had to be married. He chose my mum then all gates of hell got broken. How would he, a young unmarried man choose such "woman"

I and my brother @TheRealGodMan_ were young, didn't know all that was going on. We would see him cry sometimes in our single room apartment with our mother. It didn't make sense, even when mum told us, I bet it didn't click. Against all odds, I would say his love for our mum won

So, less than a year after their marriage in 1995, this man had begun paying tuitions, buying books and whatnot. All for the choice he made. He would contribute most part of his salaries to a coop scheme so as to secure loans to meet up with academic bills for my brother and I.

He got the two of us out of high school and universities. Married for us both. He couldn't own a car, he couldn't buy land when his mates where doing so. You know why? He had taken up a task beyond his pay grade...but he always found a way to do it. How? That I can't tell.

He couldn't send us to KC but he got us a higher education. He couldn't send us to Oxford but gave us a degree education. Much more than all that, the way he loved our mother was Heavenly. Even our mother believed he was God's sent that there was nothing she did to deserve him.

He is a year older today. I don't want to wait till I can buy him a car before I celebrate him massively. I don't want to wait to buy him a land before I can celebrate him. He deserves everything good in this life. He's the reason we got education, he is the reason we got married

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FATHER, REV J.S. OLUWAGBESAN. GOD BLESS YOU IN YOUR NEW AGE. ON BEHALF OF MY SIBLINGS AND TWITTER COMMUNITY WE SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. AS THIS HITS YOUR TL PLEASE RT TO CELEBRATE MY FATHER".
