One day just by chance I met a woman that had the same feelings that I did. It was as if a load of bricks had been lifted off of my shoulders. She was just as relieved to have met me too. She and I shared a couple of other conversations then we fell out of each others life. That happened way back in 1995. I still remember it like it happened last week.

I didn't just fall in love with the idea of it either. Though she was planned, I didn't know what the hell I was doing. But when I saw my daughter for the first time, everything changed. Parenthood is no fairly tale, but it's one of the most fulfilling jobs I've ever had.
