Your beard is definitely patchy but I've seen patchier beards become something epic. You have strong growth in the important places so it would surely look full given enough time to completely fill in. The story about your daughter cracked me up. My 4 year old is so used to the beard that it freaks her out when I cut it and she won't come near me for a while lol. Anyway, as others have said, you have a great stache. Hope to see you continue on this journey.
