My best friend just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in June. She was just telling me about the hips seperating, weight gain, emotional rollarcoasters and more. She said exasperated, "I just want my body back!" However, that last for 2.2 seconds till she sees her handsome Pheonix and she is glowing with motherly love. I have never seen her smile so big.
Family is a large part of our American culture from what I have seen in my experience. We all know that all books or movies don't end with a man alone and happy with his millions of dollars- it ends up always, ALWAYS about love and family. You see it with Mr. Scrooge, Bucket list, Married in Vegas, etc. They are worth it.
Thank you Micah, I do like the concept of giving up of ourselves for the sake of others. Remember that there is no greater love than a man/woman laying down his/her life for friends--and I'll add for family. Family is the best unit we'll have in the eternities, so it is definitely worth it to become selfless for them, even if that means giving up our SEXY BODIES lol like your friend did to bring a child in the world. The family is important and you did a great explaining that Micah.
