Newborn fingers grip
Warm, soft skin seeking comfort
From here, I am hooked

Book Humour. A Sideways Perspective on the Bonkers Business of Books
This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

I’ve always wondered what it feels like to be a father. I know what it’s like to be a mother, and I was hooked from way before they ever came out of me. (I don’t pretend it’s the same for all mothers though). But to me, it’s like an invisible link that starts right in the middle of my belly.
For a father, I wonder how it feels, during pregnancy, after the baby’s born, when they fly from the nest…

I don’t think there is a universal “mother” or “father” experience. I can tell you how it was/is for me, and that’s it! I did wonder pre-birth (of number one) if I’d bond straight away … and then this happened, and I wondered what I’d ever worried about 🙂

But how do you feel the bond? Is it a physical sensation? Or emotional only?
(and I’m glad you had such a positive experience!)

To say it’s “only” emotional doesn’t sound strong enough… but I’m one of those analytical types who thinks physical sensations are just manifestations of emotions and thoughts anyway!

I agree 🙂
And to write it was ’emotional only’ felt weird too 🙂
One day, when you have the time and have found he best way o describe it, I’d love to read about the physicality of this bond 🙂

I’m not sure I’d have the words… Had to laugh though – as I was reading your comment, I was led on the floor, three year old bouncing up and down on my shoulders, laughingly beating me about the head with a cushion… It’s definitely a “physical” bond!

As it was not my lot to be blessed with being able to have children, I appreciate having the opportunity to live vicariously. And a tender, compelling way to describe something I can only imagine. Thank you.

Ironically, living vicariously is one thing this tired parent understands all too well. We each have our own path to take, and our path to make, through life ❤
