it’s very easy to verbalise the costs of raising a child: the hit to your wallet, the forgone hours of sleep, the loss of the freedom to do what you want, when you want it.
It’s much more difficult to describe the joys. Abigail means “my father’s joy”, and unlike #SimplyGo, it’s a name that lives up to its billing. When I watch her grow, when I see her doing things that she couldn’t do a few weeks ago — lift her head, touch her toes, roll over — it fills me with an unspeakable sense of wonder.
