@bre.ferrer1: Growing up without an active father leaves a quiet ache in your soul. The kind you try to fill with all the wrong things, the kind you’re convinced will follow you forever. And then you watch your daughter with her father. You see the love you once longed for reflected in her eyes. You see the safety, the devotion, the way she knows without question that she is cherished. He’s wrapped around her finger, and she knows it. She knows she is protected. She knows she is home. Somewhere in the middle of watching them love each other, that old emptiness fades away. It healed parts of me I didn’t know were still hurting. I may not have always chosen perfectly for myself, but I chose an incredible father for my daughter, and that choice feels like redemption 💕 #momlife #daddysgirl
