Thank goodness she did cause after reading the ✉️ card I felt it and couldn’t hold it back! INSTANT TEARS 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭 ran down my face! Sometimes you just don’t know the impact you make in your kids life but you hope it’s positive! It’s not easy at all being a Father to kids growing in their own every day but goddamn I wouldn’t change it for the world! I knew it from the moment my pops wasn’t around that I wouldn’t repeat the cycle. @bronny @_justbryce @allthingszhuri I LOVE YOU GUYS TO THE MOON, BEYOND IT AND BACK ♾️!! 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎”
