Prompt: on the title

He had no idea how to be a good dad. In the first place, he never had one to know to be one. Despite failing to get custody of his daughter, he tried to be a good dad. He acted like a clown most time during the limited time he got to celebrate his little daughter's birthday. Well, teenagers had their ideas of cool and stuff, and he never figured it out how to be cool for his growing daughter.
"Hey dad. How are you feeling today?"
Wish I could speak through these breathing pipe to let her know I am good. Well, a nod would do the job too but I couldn't move.
"The doctor said they would try their best. So don't you worry, ok?"
You know me, my little girl. I never worry. Hey, where has my girl gone? Who are you mister? Oh, you are my doctor.
"...k... 15... p..."
What are they talking about? Well, my girl said I have nothing to worry.
"...9...n..."
What will we eat after I get out of here? Some pancakes? Yeah, my girl loves pancakes.

She was showered with recommendations and suggestions, yet at the same time, they never stopped telling her to do more of this, stop doing that and punish her for failing to do what they wanted her to do.
She had not been born in that family, and everything had been marvellous to her when she arrived there. She still remembered her dreary days of jumping between shelters. Of a time when she had been forgotten in a flat and gone for days without what to eat.
But after her sister had been born, things had changed ever so slightly. She did not mind it so much how these little things had come at first, for to her, the daughter which had been born was also her little sister. But she noticed the way that the adults looked at her changed, making her question: "Was she not being a good daughter?"
