"As they've got older I've started to worry how my kids will view me. It was actually a few weeks ago that my daughter said to me for the very first time, 'Daddy, you've got two fingers haven't you', and I explained I was born like that. She couldn't have cared less. She hasn’t even mentioned since. To her I'm just Daddy."
