I always encourage each new dad to treasure the journey and at the end of the day as long as you want the best for your kid and put in the love and effort, you are already on great footing. I am sure your dad is right about you and Erin will be there in this life-long partnership. Don’t worry too much buddy.

I salute you for the devotion and keenness to do more for your daughter. I am positive that you will look back with a good conscience that you have done your best ... and that is all that we dads can do. By sheer coincidence, I am Mark too. Hey Mark,
