The Joy of Having a Daughter like Thalía



  When we embarked on the adventure that is parenthood, we did not know how strenuous this task would be. The sleep deprivation, soiled diapers, preparing the bottle in the morning, clothes, having to go to work and fulfill your obligations as a parent simultaneously, is challenging. Once you have a child the changes you go through are so great that it becomes impossible to revert to the state you were in before. Parenting is a full-time job and the most difficult career you will ever have. Unfortunately there are kids who choose the wrong path when it comes to making decisions in life. I cannot claim to be successful but so far it has been a delight to raise a daughter like Thalía.
            When Thalía was a baby she loved to sleep ... well actually she still loves it. It was fortunate for me to have an offspring that woke up at noon because I would never have to wake up before sunrise and I could usually enjoy a good night's sleep. With her I was able to learn patience because Thalía was a bit sluggish compared to the fast-paced life I used to lead, but mostly I learned to see life from a different perspective. My daughter is always able to see color when most adults would see everything in black and white. I have never heard Thalía say anything bad about anyone and when she is around someone who does it, she always tries to defend the point of view of the other person. To me is more than a joy to have Thalía as daughter, it is also a learning experience, a school, an adventure, a fortune, a blessing, a gift from God, to me Thalía is the best person that a parent can have as a daughter .
