Being a cowboy is as much a part of my DNA as being a Ford is, and boy, do I love what I do. The long hours, the time spent out with the herd on horseback, watching the sun set over our land day in and day out.

I'll always have time for her. She is strong and sweet, spending most of her time bringing new life into the world as the best midwife in Clarence County. The two of us have been inseparable since kindergarten, and I'm convinced I've loved her just as long.

To help me step into fatherhood. And I see it instantly. The way she looks at my daughter is the same way she looks at me. With hope, and so much unconditional love. I'm starting to think it might just be possible to change everything between us and come out stronger on the other side...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut when Birdie is hurt one day after work, I vow that nothing will stop me from keeping her safe.
