My dad is my hero. He has always been there, no matter what, and even when he could have said, "I told you so" he didn't.
He's responsible for my love of snakes, hiking, boating, and teaching. He has always been my biggest cheerleader (along with my mother, of course) and my biggest fan. He came to all my choir concerts, drove me to lacrosse games, and came to pick me up when I was sick (even though it meant taking off of work early/rearranging things). When I went off to college that first year and didn't have a car on campus, he regularly made the 1.5 hour drive down to pick me up and bring me home.
Just BE THERE and the rest will come. I know my dad was scared shitless about having kids, especially little ones. But he did fine. You'll be fine too.
