Flávio Dantas, of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was looking forward to fatherhood. The anticipant father-to-be spoke to his unborn baby girl every single day, but little did he know how much his efforts would pay off on the day she was born.“He always told her that he loved her so much,” Flávio’s partner, Tarsila Batista, said as per the Brazilian magazine SoNoticiaBoa in August 2019. “‘Good morning’ when I went to work,” she continued, “he said ‘I’ll always be there,' [and] kept stroking my belly.”
