My daughter who is in the Coast Guard is going to have a baby! She and her husband will make great parents. They both love kids and have been the kind of aunt and uncle that every kid dreams about. They have waited a long time for the right time to have children and it has finally come that time. Congratulations to all of us.
Isn't bringing a new life in to the world a miracle? But we take it for granted because every day it happens. For the couple that has the new addition the miracle is very real. The understanding that nothing will ever be the same hangs like a gorilla on a piece of twine. What if I can't do it? What if I screw my kid up? You probably will, but aren't we all a little screwey? I know people who should never have had children and those who would have made great parents who weren't able. But one thing I do know. Children need both a father and a mother. Giving children parents who love and respect each other is THE greatest gift parents can give a child. Fathers should never be underestimated. They are every bit as important as mothers even though our society says they aren't. Dads, thank you for being there for your children.
