I want to become a father someday because It’s a beautiful thing. I’m looking forward to experiencing that unconditional love and bond that exists between a father and their child.  There is an added motivation, meaning in life, and joy being a father brings. You instantly turn into superhero. I admire the way my niece and nephew look at my brother, even the way they look at me. They look up to you, rely on you to be there for them, and need you to show them how to be good human beings. Innately you become a better person in the process because your perspective of life totally changes. I look forward to writing my own legacy and passing that on to future generations.
