They are my life. I would do anything for them. In return, they have brought me a joy more intense than I could have ever imagined, greater than any description I could possibly provide. The thought of never having met them or of losing them is more than I can bear.
As a parent, I get to continually see the world anew. Experiences, achievements, desires, and dreams are all rejuvenated through the lives of my children. I revel in their triumphs, and share in their pains.
Those who have not had children, even those who have only had one, cannot truly understand. Just as I can never understand those people who have brought their children to harm. My children are a part of my very being.
While I remember when each of them were born, it is as though I have known each of them for my entire life. I can't imagine my life without them. They make me wish and pray that I can be a better person.
