2REFLECTION
Being a father was most probably the most awaited dream of my life after I got married to my
wife. It was the most exhilarating moment of my life and along with that it was fulfilling,
wonderful and relieving. I love kids a lot and never want to be without them. I was kind of
excited to take all the responsibilities of my child and see him grow in front of my eyes. This
somehow kept me joyful always and I can say that I have become a better version of my own self
after I got my son as a gift from God. The feeling of watching my son climb the stairs and yawn
in the night time gave me endless happiness. I would like to say that I have become more
responsible, organized and a caring person unlike before. There was a time when I was offered a
promotion in my job and I was being sent out of the country. I was extremely confused because
my baby was just born and my wife hardly could recover after the delivery. I thought several
times and finally decided that my family is my priority and I cannot go anywhere so far from my
family. I believe this sense of attachment and responsibility has generated within me after I
became a father. This is the reason I consider this to be the best feeling and everyone should
have faith in themselves and should not escape from the responsibilities.
