“I learn more about myself every day just because you both chose me to be your Daddy,” Timberlake wrote. “I will always be there for you through your peaks and valleys, to lift you up and show you how high you can take this life, and to pick you up when you fall. And, of course, to flood you with insufferable Dad-jokes all along the way.”
