Before we even knew the gender, my sister came to me in a dream with that familiar, sly smile and said three words: "Take care of her." From that moment, I knew I was a Girl Dad. But being a father to a daughter carries a weight I didn't fully grasp until I started thinking about the "First Love" effect.

In this episode, I’m looking at the responsibility of being my daughter's daily example. Through a conversation with a friend and my own reflections, I’m realizing that the way I love my wife and the way I treat my daughter will shape the standard she sets for every man who enters her life.
