Really Gal? Happy Thrustgiving Day? Nice one. So can I please give you a few good special thrusts then? Ohhhh! How lovely. I shall look forward to that! But just remember this!
The way I think about children has slowly metamorphosed into something different than before... I used to think children were simply another responsibility that can be dismissed and foregone. Seeing now my girlfriend, her family and their culture (through from afar & in pictures), and having rediscovered love and happiness, I find it hard to see parenthood in the same light. There are soooo many things I don't understand, but I think I'd be remiss to excuse myself - it's too important. I feel like this is within the realm of possibilities. Realizing that this is something, not only that I want, but that I can excel at has been both a gift and a privilege. Giving life to a human being - making life, is special and I cherish the opportunity. I think I want kids. And I don't know why. Maybe I'm convoluted and envious, greedily wanting what I don't have. I want to be a good parent. A great parent. I want to provide for a family. It's part of my existence - my own little mission...
You are in love. I used to think I never wanted children as I was too selfish. My friend could not wait to start a family. However, my friend was a really bad and selfish parent as I saw it. I would give my life up for my twins. Being a parent does change you. You really must put them first as I see it,. and you would want to.
