Fathers Be Good to Your Daughters
#3. Save the day. She’ll grow up looking for a hero. It might as well be you. She’ll need you to come through for her over and over again throughout her life. Rise to the occasion. Red cape and blue tights optional. I am almost 35 weeks pregnant according to my “dates” but I think…

I joined the throngs of millions who watched the Royal Wedding today. I did not wake up early, or attend a party, I just watched the reruns on ABC after I woke up. As I watched this beautiful couple move through the ceremony motions, I couldn’t help but think about my own wedding (6 years…
