Father, husband and Love & Hip-Hop star Mendeecees Harris will be turning himself in soon to begin an eight-year prison sentence for old drug charges. Before he goes, however, he has a message that he wants his one-year-old daughter with Yandy to hear.

Sitting down with the L&HH cameras, Mendeecees pours his out to baby Skylar, telling her how much she means to him and how he will always be her protector. He also adds a touching note for his wife.

“Your mother, she’s a perfect woman, a role model… And if you could turn out to be half of your mother, I would be so grateful because I love what your mother stands for. She’s a woman with class. I fell in love with her because she was so different than what I was used to. So hopefully, you’ll pick up the traits of your moms and carry out all the stuff she believe in, you’ll believe in. And it’s going to take you a long way.”

So sweet! Check out the full video below! Prayers up for the Harris family in this difficult time.
