I was always the guy saying, never having kids.

Well accidents happen! I’m a year in and my daughter is amazing.

Just watching her play, babble and roam about the house is so pure. Her happiness is so pure! When I get home from work and she keeps wanting to pass me the same toy and laughs everytime.

I really don’t understand how she’s so beautiful, pure.

Unfortunately we had some birth complications so she was born without a right arm. The amount of worry, tests and dread we’ve had had been insane. But seeing her flourish and become a person is incredible, watching her experience new things or learn and new trick is amazing.

Life won’t be the easiest for her but I just want to give her everything.

Anyways, just a rant from a guy who didn’t see kids in his future.

    We had issues with the pregnancy of my first kid. Lots of scans and tests and surprisingly a textbook birth. Couple of years in a major operation and now she is as ‘normal’ as any other kid.

    Mad crazy experience. Life is not easy, you will never have enough time or money. Just make it through as best you can. It’s great!
