“WHEN WE CHOOSE TO BE PARENTS,
WE ACCEPT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING
AS PART OF OURSELVES, AND A LARGE PART
OF OUR EMOTIONAL SELVES WILL STAY WITH
THAT PERSON AS LONG AS WE LIVE.
FROM THAT TIME ON, THERE WILL BE
ANOTHER PERSON ON THIS EARTH WHOSE
ORBIT AROUND US WILL AFFECT US AS SURELY
AS THE MOON AFFECTS THE TIDES, AND
AFFECT US IN SOME WAYS MORE
DEEPLY THAN ANYONE ELSE CAN.
OUR CHILDREN ARE EXTENSIONS OF OURSELVES.”
-Fred Rogers
