Emotional Dad Struggles To Read First Page Of Book About Daughter

A loving dad was so choked up by a personalized book he received that he couldn’t even read the first page aloud without blubbering. Ben Spiegel, 32, cried happy tears as he tried to make his way through the book, which explained all the possibilities that lay ahead for his daughter, Marlee, when she grows up. Included in the book were tales of what professions two-month-old Marlee could have: an astronaut, doctor, pilot, rockstar and more. But moving thoughts about the infinite possibilities that lie ahead for his daughter were too much for Ben to take, tipping him over the edge in the wholesome video. The moment was captured by Ben’s wife, Samantha, 29, who presented her husband with the gift in the couple’s home in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, on September 29. Samantha ordered the book from Hooray Heroes, a company that offers personalized books for kids, hoping her husband could have something beautiful to share with his daughter as she grows up.
