When you have a child, your heart will be broken many, many times over. The first time you had to spank him; or the look on her face as she stares at you while the grandparents drive her away.
You’ll stand there a little shocked as you slowly begin to recognise the taste of being made incomplete - and the yearning to be with her once more.
You’ll never have felt more profoundly alive or connected.
Haha…welcome to toddler fatherhood dude. Wait till she reaches 4 or even worst… 14!!
I feel exactly the same way.
I like the way you said it.
Indeed, it was a kind of heartbreak that I’ve never felt before. Intense, and yet strangely amusing to myself, realising for the first time how it must have been like for my own mom and dad.
