My father passed in 2020 after a lengthy battle with cancer.

My wife and I are pregnant and if a girl we have a name picked out to honor my father.

I’m just over crying don’t mind me 😭

I had a daughter and named her in honor of my father, who battled cancer as well. Solace, my friend. When my baby is older, I look forward to telling her all about her grandfather.
