Dear Madeline,
Sometimes being a parent is hard. Really hard. You will undoubtedly hear about this and shrug it off, as I did, until you experience it firsthand. That’s OK — that’s how it’s supposed to be.
But here’s the deal: it’s totally worth it. Your kid fills all this empty space in your person. You used to think you were a complete person, reasonably happy, trotting along in life, and then you meet your kid. Your insides get all mushy and weird and knotted and crazy and intense, and you realize you were so hopelessly clueless all those years. You had no idea at all.
What this means is: we would go to the ends of the Earth for you.
You are our person. Always remember that.
