I decided to poke you with an award to make sure L. Ron Hubbard wasn't converting you. Not that there's anything wrong with Scientology...if that's your thing.

I never knew until my baby was born. It is amazing how much parents love their children. I never knew until my baby was born.

Your site is covered with ads for dianetics.org for some reason, complete with fiery volcano. It's highly distracting. Anywho, this is very well put. To be a parent is to know both great love and joy, and bottomless sadness and fear. Why do we want to put ourselves through this? As Data or Mr. Spock would say, to experience the full gambit of emotions is to be human. We live for the highs and the lows, and it's how we better ourselves.
