Being A Parent

They say being a parent is life-changing. And boy, they weren't kidding. Those of you who have kids will understand, I'm sure.

Something at a very deep level just hits you, tugs at your heartstrings. At work, all I can think of is coming home to hold my Allison. At home, I can spend hours just looking at her sleep. This seems to have given me a different perspective on life. You think about your ability to provide for your family. And smaller matters don't seem to bother me as much now.

And though you may be exhausted from the perpetual nighttime crying, it's funny how one can still be blissfully happy.

(and yes, mother and baby are both doing well. Thanks for the well-wishes!)
