And you're doing amazing, even in the moments when things get too hard and you need to cry. I hope it offers some comfort that there are a bunch of strangers who are supporting you.
8,302
daddit
Thank you for sharing your strength!
8,303

You are a strong man for her. You can do it.

All power to you, brother.

She's a lucky little girl to have a strong man like you in her life.
8,306
daddit
Be the best dad you can be for that amazing little girl. Stay strong but always remember that's it's okay to cry. It's okay to feel overwhelmed. It's okay to just need help. And when you do need a shoulder, or an ear, just reach out to me or any of the other dads here. Beautiful little angel by the way.
8,307

Can't imagine. Good job, man.

Following your story! Your baby girl is absolutely beautiful!! You are doing an amazing job, dad!! I can't imagine how immeasurably hard these holidays were for you. Keep chugging along and posting updates on sweet Lynna and yourself!!

Damn dude. I’m so sorry for your daughter growing up without her mother. And I’m sorry that all those experiences you’ll have will be bitter sweet because your wife isn’t there with you to see them too. God this hurts just trying to put myself in your shoes. Stay strong brother. Even when you feel like it’s too much and you can’t do it, she’s going to look to you as her superhero.

Wasn't planning on crying tonight but what the hell, STRONG WORK!

Brother, my daughter looks just like her. Same approximate age. Sleeps like that... Wow. I can't imagine doing life without my wife like you are doing. Stay strong - she needs you, and you can do it.
8,323
daddit
From one new dad to another - you got this. Brohug.
8,324
daddit
She's already a Liverpool fan so she'll be a tough lass. You're amazing mate, I hope things get easier for you.
8,325
daddit
She is beautiful. I want to say congrats but that feels wrong. I want to say I’m sorry and that feel wrong too. There is nothing we can say to ease what you feel but know you have a brotherhood behind you to answer your questions or lend an ear when you need to vent.
8,326
daddit
You've got this. I know it may be a while before you'll have the energy to take on any projects but wanted to share something meaningful we did for our daughter that might be of interest. I've not been in your shoes but, we had concerns about certain loved ones not being around long after our daughters birth and therefore her not being able to remeber them. So, like the Gmail ad in the link below, we created an email account for our daughter. We also shared it with family including grandparents and great grandparents - many of which passed on her first couple of years of life. I recently got to share those emails, with attached photos and videos, with our daughter. It was really special for her and gave us an opportunity to discuss cheri6 memories and stories if those that would have loved her as much as we do. https://youtu.be/zhPklt9nYas May the new year bless you both.

Baby Girl is lucky to have you.

You got me shedding tears at 2am.

As a massive LFC fan from Liverpool, the hoodie is awesome. Dude, you are doing an awesome job. When children sleep with their hands above their heads, it means they are content. Good job buddy.

This is my daughter’s second Holiday season, she’s 14 months, and I couldn’t imagine going at it without her mother. I commend you and wish nothing but the best for you and your little lady. Absolute love from California. YNWA.

Respect my friend! Stay strong and my best wishes for the new year!

She's beautiful. Good work Dad. Stay strong. You're a real-life hero to her and the rest of us.

Absolutely awesome job dude! And 10/10 on the clothing choices, especially the jacket! YNWA
8,338
daddit
One of the best things you can do to honor your wife, raise her daughter. Through her, a piece of your wife will live on. I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm happy to see that this little girl had a daddy who loves her. Thank you for being a light in the darkness.
8,339

Your awesome and so is your beautiful daughter god bless you both

You're so strong. Beautiful that you take time to put her in a dress and everything. Sorry for your loss.

Keep hammering and a happy new year to the both of you!

Good for you brother! Stay strong and keep living life. I've said a prayer for you.

God fucking bless you, you wonderful warrior!
8,347
daddit
Holy shit dude... I am so sorry for your loss. I often think about this happening when my girl goes into labor and I cannot even imagine being left alone to take care of our daughter. You are a very strong person. I really hope the rest of your life is filled with happiness for you and your daughter.

I wouldn't be able to do it. Damn you are an amazing father. The grief alone would kill me.
8,350
daddit
You're a hero mate, seen a few of your posts on here now and I'm still in awe at your strength. Keep it up, she's perfect.
8,351
daddit
She is adorable. My daughter sleeps the same way. Makes it seem like she won't fit in the crib much longer. You're doing great.
8,352
daddit
I've spent a lot of my kids lives with a headache. Chronic migraine. I feel like they missed a lot because I felt kind of numb a lot of the time, one time I actually yelled at them for singing beautifully. If my kids can tell me I'm a great mum when I feel they deserved much more then your little ones going to know she's been blessed with a dad who's doing his very best for her & that's all that matters - that you love her like you do.
8,353
daddit
She's Perfect and from the sound of it, you are doing a great job.
8,354
daddit
You are a hero and an inspiration. My daughter is sick right now and I can't even imagine not having my wife to help. You are seriously amazing.
8,355

Merry Christmas to you and precious Lynna Wren. She is absolutely beautiful

Amazing! I know we don’t know each other, but I live in a Central Texas. If you’re nearby and need anything, feel free to send a message.

I'm really sorry man I often dread the thought of this

She’s adorable mate. You’re doing an amazing job

I haven’t seen you comment in quite a while, but just checking in in case you see this. Lots of love x

My wife would surely be beyond disappointed at my choice of clothing for this kid, but as long as that's the only complaint she has of my parenting I think I'm doing pretty well. But thank you so much.
8,367
daddit
Thank you so much man.
8,368
daddit
Keep it up! We'll make it through together.
8,369
daddit
Opinions were definitely split on the whole gray and red hoodie over Christmas dress thing, but I feel like it sums up my parenting pretty well.
8,370
daddit
In our defense it was a gift. Can't be wasteful in this house, not as fast as this kid grows
8,371
daddit
Thank you so much man. And yeah, every time I have to go up a size in baby clothes my heart breaks because she's growing up way too fast.
8,372
daddit
Thank you so much, it really means a lot.
8,373
daddit
That's what matters, right?
8,374
daddit
Thank you so much!! looks just like her mother
8,375
daddit
Honestly if my 9 month old tells me she really appreciates my love and care I'd probably check myself into a psych ward.
8,376
daddit
You kidding? She’s a modern princess. A girl of the times. Flounces and hoodies in equal amounts. You’ve chosen a super cute outfit for her.
8,377
daddit
I love the outfit both as a woman who would wear that hoodie with a fancy dress and as a mom of a daughter whom I would and do dress like that. You did great and she's beautiful.
8,378
daddit
My daughter is about the same age. I never thought I would get so soft! Proud of it now. If you need help with anything or need any help, let me know. If tough times happen, keep my username and PM me. I'll do everything and anything I can to help you out.
8,379
daddit
I mean if it wasn’t a LFC hoodie you’d be alright but ... lol great job mate, keep it up!
8,380
daddit
She wouldn't be disappointed. You're doing great and your daughter is beautiful. No doubt it's a struggle at times but you're doing awesome, don't doubt yourself!
8,381
daddit
She would definitely give you a hard time about the shoes, but she still loves you. Good luck Papi.
8,382
daddit
Had to reply to this, she looks gorgeous you are doing great!!
8,383
daddit
Seriously dude that is a Look. She looks awesome. Maybe add some aviators.
8,384
daddit
That’s the only complaint my wife has as well. I can dress myself nicely but when it comes to little girls (I have 2) and their clothing (they have a lot) I’m kind of clueless. At least she’s still got you. I’m incredibly sorry for your loss and I hope that your 2020 is a great year.
8,385
daddit
just saw this post know, but if you're concerned about fashion for her, maybe post to r/femalefashionadvice? I know its for women, but I don't think anyone would mind helping out this adorable baby for fashion advice.
8,386
daddit
Bah. If you didn’t put the hoodie on, you be criticized for letting her get too cold. Take it from a dad who knows kids can’t wear coats in car sets, and instead of fussing with the coat in the parking lot/driveway after unbuckling, I just bring them inside quickly. Sometimes being a dad is a complete Catch-22.

I’m happy to see you are keeping her warm. I would have chosen a velvet jacket/sweater with the lovely dress and shoes. You’ve got the right idea, she looks warm and comfortable as well as beautiful, She’s perfect. Take care of yourself too. No velvet jacket for you though.
8,389
daddit
That gets easier. When they get older you can always use the excuse that they picked it out themselves. :)
8,390
daddit
From a Liverpool supporter, i hope she grows up to be one. She's so precious.

United fan here but I have to say, YNWA. Please remember, Both of you have a ton of people rooting for you to do amazing in life. Keep at it sir.

My girl just turned 3. We went for a walk yesterday in her stroller for probably the last time (she rarely uses it now and I’ve offered to give it away). I cried along the way, knowing it was our last stroller walk
8,393
daddit
Ha! All in good time, man. My oldest is now 9 *years*. On Sunday night, she asked me to explain how NFL playoff teams are chosen. I got as far as “the way it works is” when she stopped me to say “Daddy, I love when you explain things to me like this.” It was the most honest and sincere substitue to “I love you” that I’d ever heard, and I just about fucking melted. These moments will come.
8,394
daddit
I copped a lot of criticism from my wife about dressing my daughter when she was young as well. My son however, nothing, tshirt shorts, let's roll!
8,395
daddit
I've actually started doing this thing where I buckle my daughter in, then I wrap her in her coat, but with the hoodie part covering her little feet. It's perfect.
8,396
daddit
That’s a good life lesson right there.
8,397
daddit
Mine turns four in two months. She's less and less like a toddler and more and more like a kid and it breaks my heart constantly but at the same time it excites me greatly.
8,398
daddit
My mind was blown when I saw my wife do this a couple of days ago.
8,399
daddit
I think the next phase is my favorite. My daughter’s 7 and she’s learned so much in the last few years. Watching her grasp math and learn to read is truly amazing. You think she’s growing up fast now, wait until she really starts to understand the world around her and begins to ask tough questions.

daddit
Your comment made me feel so validated! I'm a single dad, and my baby's mom thinks it's weird that I do this with the coat, but then she thinks everything I do is weird. So thanks man!
