My daughter was finally born, and she was perfect. I remember the first time I looked at her she just stared into my eyes and just smiled. Wow time quickly flew by and before I knew it; she was in middle school. Life was good as well as we could expect it until we had some bumps in the road again. Down a different path that I didn 't understand in this single moment, and my daughter developed a malfunctioning gallbladder. Doctor went in and did an in/out procedure called ERCP; this was done to try to open her bile duct into her gallbladder early in the morning on December 3, 2008. The whole day was a nightmare. None of the medication was working. I called the doctor on call, and I was told to rush her to the emergency. As we walked in I had to sign papers immediately because I was going to lose my daughter. The nurse explained to me that my daughter had developed an infection called pancreatitis. I was upset because the doctor said it was up to my daughter to fight. Four days had passed, and she still wasn 't responding to the treatments.

    Before I went to the hospital my family and friends tried really hard to keep me calm before this big endeavor that would change my life forever. One of the things they did was talk to my pastor at my church about blessing me before the surgery. My priest blessed me by saying in a holy voice, “Please God protect Emily from all harm during this surgery, and please be with her during this hard experience.” Another wonderful gesture my family did for me was put on a birthday party, since my birthday was only a couple days after my surgery when I would be still recovering. After the celebration came to a close I went upstairs to go to bed, but before I fell asleep my mother came into the room with a gloomy look on her face.…

    Becoming a father was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. It is such a special feeling living for someone else and not just yourself, knowing that your sole duties in life are now to love, provide, teach, mentor, and discipline. I always hear people say “ Im don 't think I 'm ready to be a parent.” and to be honest, I do not think anyone is ready to be a parent. I can still remember like it was yesterday the day my son was born.…
