What a blessing to be a father? I do not know. Anyway I love reading your post

The blessing that makes you cry, makes you tired, makes you bored, makes you weak, makes you poor, makes you limited, makes you stressed, makes you frantic, makes you angry, makes you scared, makes you hungry, makes you wait, makes you burdened, makes you sacrifice more deeply than you thought you could.
Makes you part of a continuum much bigger than yourself. Makes you important, crucial, necessary for someone beyond yourself. Better get serious!
The drudgery and sacrifice parts are all guaranteed, unless you abandon your child. The good parts, well, first you have to live up to them and earn them, but then they bring the greatest pride and happiness.
Fatherhood, I think, is only a blessing for those who truly desire to nurture a child and take pride in their development. For others, it is probably mostly a burden. You who grow a garden? You know that not everyone can appreciate the rewards enough to put in the work.
I think most parents want her child to succeed. But the owners of the child will agree Children can succeed with hard work. so they have to help.
