'Stepping Up To A Boy Left Behind': Father's Day Photos

EPSOM, 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, submitted by Alyssa Beaulieu, shows Shane Stevens and sons Jason Saindon and Collin Stevens in the fall of 2017.

Happy father's day Shane! I love you and appreciate you stepping up to the boy that someone else left behind. - Alyssa Beaulieu
