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.
It’s so great to hear how you’re enjoying being a dad! Our daughter had a “minor” heart surgery around 2 months and all of the test before and after really are insanely stressful!
As an aside, I had a friend in high school who was born without his lower right arm (at about the elbow) and he was otherwise a total normal and goofy teenager. He’s married and has a kid and a great life. Look forward to that future but dang hold onto the little years because they grow up so, so fast 😭
