the sentiment, 2.8.24

we went to maya for dinner tonight and we got to talking about kids and families and whatnot. jennifer said one thing her brother, who just had his first child last year, told her that when she does have kids, to make sure the other person deserves to have a child with you. i can’t remember exactly how she said that he said it, but i loved the sentiment. a lot of people have kids out of emotions, or to save a relationship, or even to come up on a check. i want my kid to be a product of love and i want whoever has my children to be deserving of so. like i could not have picked, or rather, God could not have made a better mother for my children than who is having them. the same way she should feel nobody could be a better father for her children than me, and there is nobody else more deserving to having her children than i am.

i really love that sentiment and i love that jennifer’s brother told her that.
