What would happen if fathers everywhere loved-up their babies with this kind of tenderness?
—
My dad was the kind of father who always told me: “Keep your chin up. And whatever you want to accomplish in life, I know you can do it.” He was also the kind of cheerleader dad that, when I was completely falling apart with my first colicky baby knew that the best medicine was…a hug.
My dad has been gone for almost 20 years. He died when I was 38, from a catastrophic stroke on New Years Eve, 1997. This time of year I start thinking of him. Always.
When I watched this video I felt the love of a father for a daughter in a way that is nostalgic of my own dad.
But also, I watched this short video and wondered. If all around the world, all fathers remembered how much each father loves his child — no matter what our skin color, religion, country, and politics — could we avert war and terrorism? That’s a crazy-ass bold wondering. But who knows….
Dads are dads and infant daughters are the same…no matter where in the world dads sing to their baby girls.
The tenderness of this short video touched my heart. I hope it touches your heart too.
