Today show's Al Roker shared a heartfelt message with his daughter, Leila, after his five-hour prostate cancer surgery.
The co-host and weatherman has been updating his fans on his recovery and on Tuesday he also had an outpouring of love for his middle child, who turned 22.
Leila shared a photo of herself enjoying a glass of wine on Instagram but looking a little less than impressed.
"This is 22 in lockdown," she wrote, referring to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
