What a beautiful story from your life. A very touching and emotive piece - quite a delight to read! Children are truly an exceptional gift. And don't worry, they are far more resilient than you could imagine. I'm sure you would do just fine if you were to become a dad one day. I loved the transition that you showed and the impact that a newborn baby can have on a grown man.
Thank you for sharing this in The Ink Well.
