How?

I was reading through the message board to read some things that will make me feel better… to know that I am not alone. One of the quotes that struck me is this:

Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
—Elizabeth Stone

I wouldn’t know yet… since my baby is as big as a dime… or sometimes Joe would call it “Nickel”. But somehow, in my own little way, I understand the quote. Coz even if my baby is just as big as dime right now, I am already worried about it. What more if it’s already a full grown baby, then you take care of this person from the time she/he was conceived to the time that this person can take care of her/himself… and most of the time, even if your child is already an adult… and they are taking care of you instead of you taking care of them, you still want to take care of them and think about them first before youself.
