Honest to god, I cannot TELL you how happy it makes me to see fathers encouraging their daughters like that. A lot of us never had that, and yet I am seeing it CONSTANTLY at conventions now…dads and their daughters reading comics together, sharing a love of their favorite movies, it’s just lovely to see and I have been moved to tears many times.
I love moms, I AM a mom, and any great parents are wonderful. But it does hit me right in the happiest part of my heart to see so many little girls spending quality nerd/creative time with their fathers, or father figures, specifically because that was not always encouraged in our society.
Thanks for the kind words, but more, thanks for being a DAD, all in capital letters.
MOMS WHO SHARE ARE GREAT, TOO!
