“I have never been one of those people - I know you aren't either - who feels that the love one has for a child is somehow a superior love, one more meaningful, more significant, and grander than any other . . . But it is a singular love, because it is a love whose foundation is not physical attraction, or pleasure, or intellect, but fear. You have never known fear until you have a child, and maybe that is what tricks us into thinking that it is more magnificent, because the fear itself is more magnificent. Every day, your first throughout is not "I love him" but "How is he?”
