Personal Narrative: A Parent's Life

I had never experienced a feeling of excitement while being deathly unnerved at the same time. As I apprehensively awaited the arrival of my daughter I contemplated all the great times we were sure to have. I was overjoyed, knowing that I would get to be her dad. At the same time, I troubled because everything did not go as planned. Parenthood is an awesome journey. The birth is one of the most memorable parts. It is a beautiful moment to behold the little life that you have helped to create. The circumstances that surrounded my daughter's birth was not the normal birth tale. Her mother went for a regularly scheduled doctor visit where she was told that she had developed pr-eclampsia. They explained to her what it was and gave her a list
