I just have to chime in.

My daughter is almost three years.

I am a small business owner (half a million in revenue).

My girlfriend (we’re together since our teens and both in our 30ties) and I decided she’ll stay home until our daughter is ready for school (when she is 4 years).

The pregnancy was complicated and birth became an emergency c-section.

The moment our daughter was delivered I felt nothing less than absolute all encompassing love. I am sure we had it relatively easy once the pregnancy was over as our baby was a happy bundle of joy that slept well and didn’t cry a lot.

It brought me so much focus in my life, all that is not important I can’t any longer tolerate, this goes professionally as well, it has become a proxy for doing the important things right and a source of love, joy and wonder.

For me becoming a parent has been magical from the get go.
