Before I was a Mom/Dad

Before I was a Dad.
I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing.
I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a Dad.
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was a Dad.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunisations.

Before I was a Dad.
I had never been pooped on, spit up on, chewed on, peed on, or pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Dad.
I had complete control of myself; my thoughts, my body, and my mind.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Dad.
I never held down a screaming child so, that doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Dad.
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Dad.

Before I was a Dad.
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a father and his child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Dad.
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every ten minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderfulment, or the satisfaction of being a Dad.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Dad.

Before I was a Mom.
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed.

Before I was a Mom.
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to lullabies.
