One thing that distinguishes the fathers from the bachelors (or whatever you want to call them) is the fact that there are new emotions when you have a child. I liked the music even though I didn't know what the lyrics were. I realize every time there is a thread that should be deep enough to tug on emotions, there will be a few who don't do it. It's not that the feelers are broken but it's just that a lot of guys here don't have the experience of having a child. I know I didn't cry but I kind of cheated. My eyes were teary before my wife came to ask me a question about my daughter. Had a chance to dry up.
On another note, my daughter has started getting very attached to me all of a sudden which really made this tug at me extra hard. She started reaching for my hands when we walk after 18+ months of trying to get away from me. She plays with me and clings to me like I'm her father. There isn't anything better than having that type of attachment. I tremendously appreciate all that they have done so my daughter can grow in a safer environment.
