Man I hear ya:thumbsup: I've got a two year old little girl and she's the absolute treasure of my life. When I come home she comes running yelling "Daddy, Daddy" and jumps into my arms. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, on this planet that is better than that.

She's my only child and I doubt we'll have any more. My wife and I are both in our mid 30's and waited 6 years after we were married to have a child. We just figured we needed time to be together first. When we decided to have a child, however, we definitely wanted one. Our first attempt resulted in a miscarraige which was really hard on both of us but I think it just makes our daughter all the more precious. Am I a good father? I like to think I am. I certainly try to be. Being a parent is an art though, and I don't think anyone has perfected it. All parents make mistakes, good parents learn from them.
