It comes in the delivery room, and continues to deliver for the rest of your life. No one can really prepare you for the impact of the pay-off. A close friend, himself a father, may try. Perhaps your own father, in his cryptic code, may hint at what s in store. But it can t be conveyed.

Only you can discover the secret joy of fatherhood for yourself. It s a feeling that comes over you the first incredible moment you hold your baby. The wonder of cradling your tiny infant for the first time will transform you forever. His impossible fragility will awaken feelings you never knew existed. Her resilience and the miracle of her very existence will forever change, and ultimately improve the man you are.
