What would he say?

He was a good man with a big heart and unrealized potential. Yes, he loved me from the moment he saw me.

and at times he even played with mebut being a father was not his forte.

My father’s birthday was today, and sadly, he passed before Tatum was born. Yes, he would have loved her, from afar, and at moments, up close, but I will never know what kind of a grandfather he would be. However, I do know this: He’d say, “Stephanie, I’m proud of you and support you.”
