Absolutely agree, Dorine. A father's role in his daughter's life is so crucial, but there are so many men who don't know or recognize this fact. Excellent clip. Thanks.

I clipped Dr. Meekers book a while back. I have read it and it will change the way you look at fatherhood. My wife read it as well and thinks it is as important for women as men so that they can better understand the role of the father. I highly recommend her book .
