I need the deductions on my taxes.
I enjoy sharing the experience of life with others. Both Susan and I had crappy childhoods. We both have a desire to "break the cycle." There is also a lot of unexplainable drive to want to nurture. A lot of the desire is hard to put into words - it just seems to be the right thing to do.
If my child were to learn just one thing from me, it would to be a good human: be good to yourself and be good to others. Enjoy life, live in the moment but don't fail to plan for the future. Follow your heart. Don't grow up too fast: there will be plenty of time for the adult things when you are an adult. Be honest with yourself and others: difficult truth is much easier to deal with than questionable niceness. If it is a girl: don't let people you can't do something just because you are a girl (and you can't date until you're 30). If it is a boy: don't be afraid to cry: it makes you MORE of a man, not less. (I guess I lost count on my way to one - sorry.)
And I hope that my child feels that he or she can trust me with anything. I would hope that we have a deep enough of a relationship that there is nothing to fear about talking to Dad.
