I love my daughter, but I also love the fact she's grown and on her own. I can definitely relate to those who choose to not have children. There were times I wish I had made the same choice.

Now that it's done I can see my life has been greatly enriched by fatherhood, though to be truthful the experience was not due to my conscious choice but rather something that just happened to me owing to my own lack of foresightedness. Sometimes I get lucky even if it takes a long time to realize it.
