The way forward is to revel in the love of that child and to make sure that the legacy you leave is one of being the best Dad in the world.
All the trophies and fanfare in the world won't add up to making sure she has a happy childhood as worry free as possible.
Take her fishing... teach her to play hockey... to garden and ride.
You and your family can always be proud of the past but you shouldn't dwell there when there is so much to offer you in the future and when you are so important to her and her future.  |
Well said, brought a tear to my eye, parenting is about sacrafice.
