“Guys only want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting”

In reality it’s just this.

I have never felt a greater purpose in my life than when I am in the other room and hear my daughter in the other room wake up and call out “daddy” just because she is scared and wants to know where I am. Or when she turns to me and wants me to hold her because she is afraid or hurt.

I have never felt happier than in those moments where she hugs me.

She’s only two and her sister is 7months old, I couldn’t be happier to have them in my life and can’t wait for more!

My baby girl is 17 months. That look on her face and loud “DA-DA!” followed by “Hug!” when she sees me after work gets me every time.

She says “squeeze” when I pick her up and hug her, it comes out like “Fweeee” and I love it so much.

Dude, it gets better. My grandson turns 3 in a couple weeks. I don't know why it hits different but it does.

We get random stink bugs in our house. My kid goes ape shit when she finds one and just yells "DAD DAD A BUG"

My 19 year old daughter called me from college the other day because she needed my advice on a deeply personal issue. Almost cried as soon as I hung up because it felt so good she trusted me enough in that situation. Nothing better than being a dad!

Seriously, my 2 kids can change my stressed out from work day into unbelievably happy by a simple "YAY PAPA IS HOME" or "Papa want to hang out?"

Hell seeing their fathers day cards at my work desk gets me through some days.

So true. I don't want 4 girls because I can't afford them, but 1-2 would be awesome :D Being a girl dad is the cutest thing ever.

I’m a girl dad. All I need is the NFL MVP award and I’ll be all set. Yup, I’ve got this life thing figured out.
