Dealing with the separation from your partner is never easy, we all know this. There can be many valid reasons for deciding to break up, but this does not mean that it is easy to do. It gets even more complicated when there are children involved and it is almost certain that they will be affected more than anyone else.

Even more difficult, then - especially for kids - is becoming a member of a new family. But a lot depends on how the new family members are received. Here is a story about this very topic:

Having a new stepfather or stepmother is not a prospect that appeals to many kids, there's no denying this. Issues like competition and jealousy have to be dealt with in the most diplomatic and understanding way as possible. But things went much better than expected for Taylor Nally and her 9-year-old daughter, Charlie.

In a short video posted on the woman's TikTok account, we see Taylor showing her daughter the engagement ring she had received from her fiance (we'll call him Tim). Charlie rejoices with her mother and then, Tim calls Charlier over to him. Kneeling in front of her and with his face filled with love, Tim asks Charlie a question:

"I have something very important to ask you. Do you want to become my daughter? Can I be your dad?" Tim asks. Little Charlie immediately throws her arms around her new dad's neck in a wonderful show of affection.

"I will always love you, I promise you, and I will always take care of you," Tim says with a voice full of emotion. This moment, shared on the web, got loads of comments. Many users have admitted that they were deeply moved, that they cried and thanked Tim for the beautiful gesture he had made towards Charlie.

"She will never forget this, I'm sure," commented one person; "I would like a father like you," wrote another; "You are a good man and you don't know how much good you did for that little girl with that simple question," another commented. And to seal the deal, Tim gave Charlie a heart-shaped pendant as a symbol of his love for her.

This was a wonderful moment that, we are sure, neither of them will ever forget.

We wish this newly-formed family all the very best in the future.
