When I come home from work each day, my 9 year old daughter comes running up to me yelling "daddy, daddy" and gives me a big hug and a kiss. I don't think there can be any greater joy in life than a hug from your child. I get such a kick out of all the crazy questions she asks me about different things, and just watching her learn and grow. I waited until I was in my mid 30's to have a child. I was able to have a lot of fun being single and childless early on and now I treasure every moment I spend with her. I think I have had the best of both worlds.
