I think about the pledge I made to her that day: that I would give her what I never had - that if I could be anything in life, I would be a good father. I knew that day that my own life wouldn't count for much unless she had every opportunity in hers.”

Dad misses those undershorts. They were his Faithful Undershorts Companion.”

He is conscientious in all of his undertakings ... If I had a problem I could always call Daddy.”

I think it's the best thing going, parenthood.”
