Speaking from personal experiance as a man, being there when your little angel is born and those few years bonding with your little girl are unlike anything else life has to experiance.
I use to say to myself if God appeared in front of me and said someone has to die today you or your wife (ex now) I would hem and haw before saying well I guess I have to go but can I have a going away party.
If on the other hand it had been my little angel I would have grabbed ahold of God instantly and not let go.
You dont know love untill you have born a child. Of course thats just my experiance.
Mine, too. :) Sloppy baby kisses are the highlight of my day. It makes up for cereal dumped on the floor and baby spit up on all my clothes. :)
What a beautiful post. I'll remember it.
And you're right: you don't know love until you have a child.
