Hope I made the right desicion

I left my baby daddy when I was 8 weeks pregnant with our daughter and moved to texas. Him and I have had our issues, I did get him locked up once, we both have made mistakes and put one another thru hell. She is five now, him and I have gone back and fourth for 5 years now, well get along for a while then we beef and stop talking. She has never met him, she has been growing up without her father. We'll just recently over these past few months we have been talking and getting along great. He wants to get out of Chicago and get a fresh new start and move here to texas and to be around and build a relationship with his daughter. The old problem is he has no one here but me, and asked if he can stay with me for a couple mnths, and I told him yes, the only reason why I'm willing to do that is for our daughter, I grew up with out my biological father, I do not want that for my baby. So he's actually on a buss making his way here, and I gotta pick him up tomarow from the buss station.
