Childhood revisited

Jol is expecting her 1st child. My cousin is looking forward to the arrival of his fourth.

When people have kids, they seem to change overnight. I know I did.

The reason is not surprising - we were once children too. And our childhood left many potholes. Now our children are travelling the same road, those potholes, long forgotten, are a problem once again.

Revisiting our childhood is like medicine. It doesn't taste good, but it's good for us.

Raising Alexander started me on a personal journey - that is exciting and scary. It amounts to an overhaul of my personality. Actually, my child grew me up.
