My baw, they will teach you more about how to love and laugh than you could ever imagine. You will feel such a deep and abiding connection to them, their sweet little faces, running up to you and giving you a big hug and saying "Daddy I love you you're the best!".

Sweeter than Tupelo Honey. Best high in the world.

And when they are teens, and you've got 13 years of that love, and they have all your heart...

That moment when you are no longer cool and they don't want you around and to just leave them alone to stew in their moodiness...rips it out.

It's not all bad by any means. There will be times they want to be by you and need you and you laugh and have fun...but there are dark times too that will test your soul.

I've often said, if babies were born at teenagers we'd throw them off cliffs.

Boomers come in here and complain about their kids when millenials will never be able to have kids because boomers ruined the economy
