It's just so weird, having children... The whole thing is like science fiction. Human beings make decisions... It's such an extraordinary thing to attempt.
Nothing can quite prepare you for the moment where they hand you a human being and say, this is yours, you are now their custodian. It's entirely about this now.
The birth of his daughter 40 years ago was... the most significant thing that has ever happened to me. Joy is an origin story for the procedure that enabled millions of people also to become parents.
As soon as you take the weight of the baby, you're like, Oh, I see... it hopefully unplugs some of our unhelpful self-absorption. There's something outside of yourself to concern yourself with.
