Single mom shares a heartwarming realization that assured her that her fiancé is the one

Single parents are very careful about choosing a partner. The person they embrace will not only be a better half but also a parent to their kids. Having journeyed with their children by themselves, it is challenging to open up and trust another individual to join the family. For mums like Dani Morin (@danimorin_), who make the conscious decision to become a single parent, they are even more cautious about who they bring into their lives. Mom to a 4-year-old son, the woman wasn’t sure about adding her partner, Jeremy, as a family member, per Newsweek. However, she was hit with a heartwarming realization that confirmed that Jeremy was meant to be a part of the family.

A report from the University of Florida noted that a quarter of kids under the age of 18 are living with a single parent in the United States. Another report from Cyros International revealed that out of 300 single mothers by choice, 78% were aged between 36 to 45, like Morin. There are several reasons why parents, especially moms, opt to be single. 60% of single parents noted that they’re not actively looking for a relationship. Morin, too, spent four years on herself before considering the idea of a partner. She had also lost her 18-month-old around the time, which brought different challenges. "I wasn't ready to find a man yet, but … I was eager to be a mom again," she said.

She started the process of artificial insemination and welcomed her baby boy. Undoubtedly, the boy was everything to the mom. Eventually, she met Jeremy through a close friend and the duo started to bond. It was only after a year of dating him that she one day realized that he was indeed “the one” for her and her son. Sharing her reason, she revealed footage of her son deliberately being mischievous and playing around with Jeremy. However, the man was not affected, as if he were used to it and continued focusing on what he was doing, allowing the little boy to be around.

“A year ago, this single, childless man came into my life. Today, this 4-year-old barfed all over his newly detailed Tesla,” she wrote. Morin added that as the video captured, the boy was “shoving a sticky hand in his ear.” “This man could not be bothered. For that, I will be marrying him next week,” she noted. The mom elaborated in her caption that it was not so much the acts but rather the bigger picture that moved her. “Nothing and I mean nothing rattles this man. Could never be me,” she said. His accepting the little shenanigans as a part of his life said everything about him.


“That's why we love him,” Morin noted. @kristyandco wrote, “Some men are just born dads.” @jaime_veder_4444 said, “I think it’s a very wholesome family moment.” @jenny_hers added, “Girl, ask him to marry you ASAP. This guy's an amazing stepdad!” Right enough, a few months later, the duo tied the knot. A post by @afilmnico captures glimpses of the beautiful Morin, dashing Jeremy and their 4-year-old delightedly marking a new beginning.
