Many young girls aspire to marry their father one day. Most people, however, do not react as strongly to the news that it isn’t feasible as 3-year-old Bella Atkinson did.
The Atkinsons of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, haven’t been able to see their Wisconsin-based relatives as frequently as they’d like, so Bella has been enjoying gazing at photographs on the family’s stairwell. Her mother said she came upon a photo from her parents’ wedding one day.
Bella and Matt are “very close,” according to Atkinson.
Bella is willing to share her father with her mother for the time being. “It’ll be an easier adjustment as she gets older to understand she needs to meet someone else to maybe marry,” Atkinson said on “GMA.” “He’s obviously raised the bar for any future males that come into her life.”
