No.
I remember looking at my first daughter as she was laid on the hospital bed just as I was about to pick her up to leave the hospital with my wife.
At that moment I realised that I was not immortal, that one day I would die, that I had to do my very very best for this tiny human because it was down to me to protect her, to help shape her life, to help her become whatever she could be.
I took a photo of her on that bed, still have it in an album and it will always be one of the most powerful moments of my life.
She helped me define who I am, who I wanted to be.
She's 31 this year, her sister a few years younger and there is literally nothing I would change.
If I regret anything, it is leaving the planet in the state it is in.
- rantwasp 5y agobeautiful but it’s the other way around. when you look at your kid(s) you realize that you are in fact immortal (your genes not you per se but it’s pretty close).
