<div><p>From head to toe, Keenan Watkins is the very definition of a "tough customer."</p><p>He's 6'2", with a huge fiery beard, tattoos and a shirt that says "Punisher" on the name tag. So when he visited a Goodwill last week carrying a baby doll in his arms, he raised a lot of eyebrows.</p><p>The store's greeter Sadie Collins asked for the story behind his unusual shopping buddy, and when he told her she just had to share it online.</p><p>His touching story was shared on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lovewhatreallymatters/posts/1505467566142303:0">Love What Matters</a> Facebook page, and after reading it people are calling Watkins "father of the year."</p><div><figure><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lovewhatreallymatters/posts/1507245519297841" target="_blank"><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/2-6.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/2-6_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/2-6_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/2-6_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lovewhatreallymatters/posts/1507245519297841" target="_blank">Love What Matters / Facebook</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>It turns out this tough guy is the father of 2 young kids, his 9-year-old son Ash and his 10-year-old daughter Aayla. While Watkins was making dinner last week, Aayla asked him to carry her baby doll, named Davey, around with him for a whole day.</p><p>Not realizing how embarrassing it would look to carry the doll around, Watkins agreed.
