0119 - Nobody Called Him a Father for 3 Days | First Time Father Story
Descripción
Joshua is 21 years old. His daughter was four months old when we filmed this.He was in that hospital for three days. He was there for every moment, every feeding, every 1AM check. And in those three days not one nurse, not one doctor, not one person on that staff called him a father. They called him a support person. They pointed at him when they needed to reference him. They worked around him.Until one nurse on the third night walked in at 1AM, looked at the whiteboard across the room, found his name, and called him Joshua. Then called him dad. He thanked her before she left. She asked what they usually called him. He told her. She did not know.He did not make a scene. He did not complain. He just noticed. And he made sure she knew it mattered.That story is in this video. So is what Joshua said surprised him most about becoming a father, the moment he did not expect to feel, driving to work one week after his daughter was born, already missing her, already wondering how a man is supposed to split himself between providing and being present at the same time.Joshua is the youngest voice on Iron Father.
