Essay About Becoming A Baby

Improved Essays
So when I was born I came as kind of a shock. My mum was young and she didn’t expect to be having a baby any time soon. I guess not everyone is able to stick to their plan. Lots of people, when they are young, know what they want to do when they grow up. I am sure one of those things was not to already be a mum by the age of seventeen. I am sure that my mum had bigger aspirations than to get pregnant and raise a child on her own. Everyone has a dad, but to me mine means nothing. He has never seen me. To me he is just someone I do not know nor will I ever know him. I sometimes find myself wondering if he ever thinks about me. But I get a feeling of guilt whenever I do, as my mum has been there my whole life – and has never turned her back on me – while he just walked away. She tried so hard when I was little.

I remember the day as if it was yesterday, despite the fact that it took place almost nine years ago.…

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 decided to write about my relationship with my dad in this post because Father’s Day just passed and because I’ve already made a post about the incredible bond I have with my dad. In that post I mentioned that he was away in Korea when I was born and I didn’t get to see him until I was 7 months old. My mother, who was only 22 at the time, had a lot of responsibility taking care of the three of us who were all under 3 years old. When my dad came home he took over the caregiving duties for me completely because he wanted to make sure he bonded with me. There was a solid attachment built between the two of us at that time that has been tested over time but never frayed.…
