Congratulations on becoming the father of a little girl, Steven! Given the assumption this is your first child, and based on my first child being a girl, it's possible your devotion and your sense of her preciousness might be the most intensely pure and beautiful emotions you'll ever feel for another person. Your words convey this unfolding for you -- no need to hold back drinking up every drop of it! Other fathers whose daughter was their first child have shared this with me too. And after 28 years, the joy for me is undiminished.
