The birth of a child is such a wondrous moment. I am still in awe when I recall witnessing the birth of both of my children. However, these miracles were followed by a wave of fear initially when I realized the responsibility of raising a child. No one ever does it perfectly, but they were journeys so filled with millions of moments that touched my heart ,and the fear and trepidation paled compared to the fulfillment of guiding and loving a child.. It is wonderful to be honored for this vocation, but it should also be a day when as a father I am so grateful for the rewards and joy that I have gained from my children.
