    I don't remember if you asked me, but after reading your blog: I have to say that you are right; children are extremely special and we must be ready to devote ourselves to molding these little beings into responsible adults. It would seem odd that people would look to children as a way to complete themselves. This huge responsibility is something that we should only endeavor if we are already complete and willing to give a huge piece of ourselves. Along the way, you do get a lot in return, in all the joy that they bring to your heart, and the smiles and laughter that will ensue, but also be prepared to cry, stay up late, worry a lot, and be tired.
    All in all it is great, and you would be a great dad.
    You can show the kid how to be a nerd just like you:
    Just kidding bro; take care,
