But there is one thing about parenthood that isn't always happy. In fact, that one thing is more difficult than just about anything in the world.
And that is knowing that your heart is gone, that it is walking freely in this world in the form of a beautiful little person, that you have no control over it anymore. This can be the source of your greatest joy and also of your greatest sorrow.
My little girl is my Achilles heel.
