He will change diapers, of course he will. He is going to be a very hands-on father.
Beyonce KnowlesRead
Being pregnant was very much like falling in love. You are so open. You are so overjoyed. There's no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you so, of course, you want to scream it out and tell everyone.
Interpretation
Pregnancy evokes immense joy and openness similar to the feelings experienced when falling in love.
In this quote, Beyoncé Knowles compares the profound experience of pregnancy to the sensations of falling in love. Both experiences are characterized by an overwhelming openness to emotions, joy, and a desire to share such transformative feelings with the world. The anticipation and excitement of nurturing a life inside oneself mirrors the euphoric state of love, where one feels compelled to express their happiness and share this intimate journey with others.

Jen and I were accustomed to our father's last-will-and-testament diction, and were at times free to interrupt Atticus for a translation when it was beyond our understanding.
It's as if, in the mother's eyes, her smile, her stroking touch, the child first reads the message:'You are there!'
A grandmother's special calling is to pray and to be a fellow worker in the battle in which her children or her grandchildren are engaged.
But to me, the most important page in my daughter's book is the last one - because it's blank. It says, "Your Hero's Photo Here," and, "Your Hero's Story Here."
