Dad Quote by Matt Haig

“Dads are just men who have babies but I know he loved me because I felt it go out of me when he crashed. It was like air or blood or bones or something that made me me and it wasnt there any more and I had only half of it now and I didn't know if that was enough.” quote by Matt Haig — Download Open image
