I'm getting married soon, very exciting, and I'm already looking forward to being a Dad someday. What can you Dads out there tell me, what was it like before, during, and after the pregnancy? Did you read books about fatherhood and parenting? How did becoming a father change you?
I'm 24, a full-grown man. But I'm not a man like my Dad, who was the provider, and the rock; he was Santa, and the tickle monster; the stoic dryer of tears, the remover of splinters, the coach, the "wise man" full of life lessons. How do you become a man like that?
I remember when I fell in love with my fiancee, all those ridiculous love songs and movies finally made sense. Now, all those ridiculous songs and movies and books about fatherhood / parenthood are starting to make sense .... I'm finding that stories about fathers protecting and providing for their son or daughter are hitting closer to home than they once did.
