A Father And His Daughter: 'Always My Buddy'

This article is from NPR.org via StoryCorps.org.  It's a really cute story of a daughter and her father.

Jennifer Wells recently asked her father to look back on the day she was born, 27 years ago — and to tell her how he felt about becoming a dad. Steven Wells started his story with, "I was scared to death."

Jennifer's mother stayed in the hospital for a week. It fell to Steven to take their new baby home and look after her.

"I mean, I'm a blue-collar kind of guy," he says. "I've worked in factories and construction; I was a firefighter — and I've got a little baby girl in the house."
