The beginning of Fatherhood

  I am a new father as of December 7 to a wonderful baby girl. I have felt a profound love for her while my wife and I were pregnant, but now I am head over heels for her. I wish nothing more than to give her the best life possible, which includes making hard decisions to benefit her. Her birth has triggered a huge shift on my mindset, and I want to be able to provide her with all the opportunities possible. I am so thankful to have her in my life and I am ready to do anything to make sure she will have the best upbringing possible. I hope she serves as a unifying force for my wife and I, so that we can provide her an environment where her parents love and respect each other. I hope to mature as a man and human being, since I recognize my faults and weaknesses and hope to become a better example for my daughter to follow.
