Daddies are God’s greatest gifts and unquestionably they play a very important role in a child’s life. A fruitful upbringing of a child is heavily dependent on how impactful is a dad in the child’s life, especially when it comes to daughters. A daughter becomes a daddy’s little girl much before she becomes mama’s angel. Although there isn’t any scientific proof for this but I am sure most of you would agree with this.
