Documentary: ‘Dear Daddy’ looks at father-less young women

I’m a daddy’s girl and I couldn’t imagine life without my father now as an adult and even when I was a child. Growing up I realized that my reality was not a reality in everyone’s home. Not every girl experienced being ‘daddy’s little girl’.
