He’s Quite the Softie
Although my exmormon dad is pretty gruff, he went out of his way to visit me when I had my babies, especially my first baby. He was in the hospital the first week of his life (just for an infection and had to be treated with antiobiotics) and my dad came by multiple times. It was a little awkward when it was time to feed the baby because I hadn’t gotten the hang of it, but my exmormon dad just went behind the privacy curtain they had for me and he hung around until my son was done eating so he could hold him again.
