@fudge Yes. She's 2y9m and I've badly suffered at times due to family issues, no support network, mental health issues, etc.... But I'd still choose her all over again. I am not a spiritual person most of the time, but when I saw her face as they held her up during my c section, my first thought was "oh, there you are." It was like I knew her, like I'd been waiting my whole life to meet her.
I'm 38 and damn, is my body sore like, all the time from wrangling her, and many days I'm just like "when is bedtime, I'm exhausted!" But I figured out awhile ago that if I have to choose between comfort or adventure in life, I will often choose adventure. She's my great adventure.
