As you know, I had my first child almost a year ago (YAY!), and I tell you, it has been a year of the most extreme emotions ever. There's the love, and admiration, and immense feelings of accomplishment-even over a poopy diaper.
I got to thinking though; I don't think I've ever been this paranoid in my entire life. I worry about everything: fire, strangers, bugs (we have some Godzilla spiders), suffocation.
Now my biggest fear is leaving her. I think I'm more afraid now of dying because I don't want to leave her here alone. I went to school to become a police officer, but now I don't think I will carry on with that dream. I may go into psychology, but I don't have the same desire to save other people no matter what happens to me. Especially the a**holes I live around, why would I want to die for them? I never feared death or pain or anything, and I still don't when it pertains to me, but then I think about what Lily would go through and that scares the hell out of me.
So...all you parents out there, what scares you?
