ROCKER'S SURGERY

Roker, a weather anchor on the "Today" show, recently underwent a total shoulder replacement surgery on August 12. That operation marked the second shoulder operation the 66-year-old would be undergoing in six years.

The weather anchor said that he learned the lesson from his father and followed the same approach with his kids.

In 2014, he repaired the rotator cuff in his left shoulder. The operation for August 12 had to be done because Roker was experiencing intense pain from arthritis, a situation that made it difficult for him to sleep at night.

After the operation, Roker updated his fans on how the surgery went via a post on his Instagram page. He posted a video where he said the doctor told him that the operation was successful, captioning it:

"And scene! I'm out of surgery and recovery. Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers."

Being a father to three children means that Roker has learned many valuable lessons along the way. One such lesson is the importance of saying sorry to one's kids as a parent.

The weather anchor said that he learned the lesson from his father and followed the same approach with his kids. He added that the fact that he is the head of the home does not mean he is always right.

Besides being a dedicated father to his kids, Roker is also a loving husband to his beautiful wife with whom he shares a sweet and enduring love story that is 24 years and counting. Happy birthday Al!
