I took my daughter Rose to work with me over the weekend as I was calling a college basketball game for CBS. This was not “take your child to work” type of trip but instead this adventure was about me connecting with my daughter after a tumultuous few weeks in my household. My son/Rose’s brother “Chicago” Joe had spine surgery on February 1st. His recovery has been up and down and it has been draining on everyone in my house. With my son getting so much attention, this road trip was going to be a time for just the two of us. We drove from Chicago to Cedar Falls, Iowa. Rose was in control of the map on my phone, we listened to Taylor Swift, ate McDonalds and did math problems. We laughed, she cried (because she had to use the bathroom so bad) and we had an experience that I certainly will never forget. I thought I was doing something for her before the trip, after the trip I realized she did something for me. I love you Rose! #Girldad
I don’t know you or your daughter, but I am a daughter and I can tell you this is just awesome. Something she will always remember and cherish.
It's heartwarming to see how you prioritized spending quality time with your daughter, Rose, during a difficult period for your family. Your road trip with her sounds like a fun and memorable adventure that allowed both of you to bond and connect. It's clear that the trip was a meaningful experience for you, and it's great that you recognized the positive impact that Rose had on you.
Love this story and hope Rose had a great time!
This is so heartwarming!
Love those happy faces and only the best thoughts for Joe.
You are a great Dad!
Love this Timmy! So sweet
Beautiful, TD. Hope the little guy is doing ok.

1yGood job allowing yourself to grow from your “daddy-daughter” day. Many people think only of what they can get out of an experience. You obviously have an open heart and used this opportunity to make mental notes of these special moments with your daughter. 💕
