Adorable pictures of a young girl with her biological dad and stepdad have gone viral of the two men taking her to a father-daughter dance. Dylan Lenox from Hubbard, Texas, posted the pictures on Facebook on Saturday to share a positive message about how exes and new partners can still form a happy family despite what society says. The little girl in the picture is named Willow Mengon and her mom, Sarah, is soon-to-be-married to Dylan. Included in the pictures with Dylan and Willow was the young girl's biological dad, David Mengon.
In the post that has since been shared 144,000 times, Dylan explained the importance of their unique relationship to help promote love for Willow. 'No we are not a same-sex couple, but we do share a daughter,' Stepdad Dylan wrote. 'David is Sarah’s ex-husband and I am the fiance. We have moulded ourselves into one unique family, if only for the sake of our children to know the power of love. 'Not only did I gain a daughter, but I also gained a brother and a best friend.'The post went on to explain how they hope their relationship can help breakdown ideas of it being 'the norm' for exes and new partners to hate each other. 'When we care more about our children (on both sides of the party) thAn the way society has taught us to be towards (ex's/baby mommas/daddy's) then walls will fall, life will be free of hatred and remorse, and our children will conquer the foolish "norms" that media has shoved in our faces,' he wrote.
The cordial relationship works well for the family as David will even stay with Sarah and Dylan when he is visiting so he can be closer to his daughter. 'Of course, not a single moment would be like this without Sarah (mommy) and her kind and generous heart,' the post continued. 'Willow Grace you are loved by so many people in this world and your Daddies love you!' Pictures of the two dads, photographed by Sarah, showed the love shared between the men as they celebrated taking Willow to a father-daughter dance. The adorable youngster wore a pink-and-red gown with a tiara placed on top of her head as she grinned from ear-to-ear in pictures. Thousands of people commented on the pictures saying the post was 'very inspirational' and 'beautiful'. 'She is a beautiful little girl and so lucky to have such loving, wonderful parents,' one commenter expressed online.
