'Blood Doesn't Make You A Daddy': Father's Day Photos

WARREN, NH—Whether it's through his or her personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, a son or daughter often takes on the qualities of the dad who raised them. With Father's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across New Hampshire to share their "father-son" or "father-daughter" lookalike photos.

It doesn't matter how old the kids are; they'll always be a chip off the old block.

This photo, sent in by Veronica Silveira shows Nik Sevigny and Lacey Jade, was taken last September at the Fun Spot amusement park in Laconia, NH. The family is from Warren, NH.

A daddy isn't defined as a man who makes the child, but rather a man who extends his hands and time to help with the child's raising and his heart to love the child through anything! Blood doesn't always make you a daddy. Being a daddy comes from the heart. You didn't give me life, but life gave me the gift of you! Thank you for all you do for me. I love you with all my heart! Happy Father's Day! - Veronica Silveira
