Cute.

I was scared to become a dad because of the unknown. Even more terrified to have a girl. Not because i didnât want a girl, but because I thought I would have no idea how to raise a girl. I was so wrong! Itâs been the greatest thing and I am so glad I get to be a #GirlDad pic.twitter.com/rBK5Hqn2ck

Wholesome.

When I count my blessings, I count my dad multiple times. #girldad
