The stepfather thought the gift his stepson had given him was already fairly important until he knew there was another surprise in store for him.

Blake Wilson, currently 34 years old, has been Tyler Dukes’ stepfather since he was 13 years old.

Despite the fact that they are not blood relatives, their genuine affection for one another can undoubtedly teach us something about unconditional love.

Tyler wanted to surprise his dad on Father’s Day with a gift that would express how much he cared for Wilson as his father.

Wilson may be seen unwrapping Tyler’s gift and finding a picture frame with a poem that Tyler penned himself as a dedication to Wilson in a family video.

Many might contend that you are not my biological father, but we both understand that this is false.

You have supported me like a true father throughout everything we have been through together…

Despite the fact that we are not blood relatives, the love and trust you have bestowed upon me are an inestimable gift.

Is a valuable gift that never ends, and that, my friend, is what qualifies you as a Real Dad in my eyes. Could we please formalize this?

Wilson was in tears, but it wasn’t the conclusion it was the fact that Tyler himself had given him such

a wonderful gift. He eventually found an envelope that had been taped to the back of the photo frame.

He tore open the package, bursting with joy to see adoption papers! Tyler had submitted the legal papers asking

for his name to be changed from ‘Tyler Dukes’ to ‘Tyler Wilson,’and Tyler wanted his name to be changed officially in this way.

He hoped Blake would step up and become his ‘true dad.’ According to Tyler’s mother, Angela Wilson, “Blake has

been Tyler’s father since he was 13 so they have been really close and you couldn’t tell they weren’t biological.’

‘Last year, he approached me and declared that he wanted to use Blake’s name and that he wanted it to be formal and legitimate.

We never really brought up the idea with Blake because he was already acting as his father in every other way.

He wanted to do it on Father’s Day so that it would be more significant and memorable for everyone involved.
