One womans viral tribute to her stepdad is resonating with people across Facebook .

Katelyn Miller, a 21-year-old from Salina, Kansas, penned a touching thank-you letter to her stepdad Lance Jeske, which was shared on the Love What Matters Facebook page on Monday.

In the post, Katelyn thanks Lance, who has three other kids from a previous marriage, for always treating her and her brother like his own kids since he first came into their lives nearly 13 years ago.

You are not my biological father, I do not carry your last name (yet) and I do not look like you in the slightest, she wrote. Any man can make a child, and stick his name on the birth certificate. It takes a real man like you to step up and care for a child who is not his own.
