Let me start by congratulating you. Parenthood is awesome...a major transition in your lifestyle, for sure, but very well worth every sacrifice you are about to make. It sure sounds like you have your head on straight, and that's a major plus for you, your wife, and your daughter.

In today's world, so many new parents have no idea why they are becoming parents, have no priorities for a successful family in place, and as a result will "raise" (or ignore and lose) children who will grow up to negatively impact themselves and everyone around them.

I love your "strong parents = strong families" meme. I would add "Strong morals =" in front of that. I'm sure you already have them, and that's great, but so many young parents, sadly, do not.

May God bless and keep you and give you patience and wisdom as you embark on one of the most important tasks any human being can undertake!
