It changes everything, absolutely everything. The love you FEEL for your child transforms everything. Now you have SOMEONE helpless and tiny that depends on you and only you. You look at him and KNOW that your WORLD is focused on him, on that PART of you.

When you become a mother, it's a COMMON thing that you just WANT to put every OUNCE of your being into your CHILD, which is a very BEAUTIFUL experience.

It's excruciating to be AWAY from your CHILD.

I think any parent can imagine how DIFFICULT it would be to watch your CHILD SUFFER.

The AMAZING THING about being a dad is to be able to look at your child and REALIZE that the UNIVERSE is so much BIGGER than you.

If you live through the death of your child, you should be ABLE to TALK about it and let other people know it's OK to go on.

As a GENERAL rule, when your child, or anyone in the work force, doesn't KNOW what he/she wants to do, they should instead always be developing skills and competencies that will qualify them for the jobs that COMPANIES are most looking to fill and increase their hireability.
