Singer Andy Grammar is asking the questions “Tell me one thing your dad did that was awesome and one thing he could have done better” to every woman he meets as he prepares to welcome his first baby girl. In a touching letter he wrote to his unborn child

Sometimes their eyes light up, because they’re about to tell me about their favorite person. Sometimes they get quiet, trying to think of something nice to say. Many of my friends and colleagues have told me how much it meant that their dads included them in activities like watching basketball games and fixing things around the house, and how much they appreciated never being boxed into a stereotype.
But so many others have said, “I wish he’d been around more.” In a letter to his unborn baby girl Grammar wrote as a touring musician, this has been terrifying for me to hear. Panic is rising in my chest as I write this, but I promise you: I will not let you down. I’ll fly to you. Sometimes you’ll fly to me. We’ll talk on the phone and video call each other whenever we’re apart. I will always be someone you can count on.
