When the child comes to the life of a father, it allows him to see with a totally different perspective and will enable him to experience life in a different way than he did before his/her arrival. The father feels true and impartial love for his children, he does not expect anything in return, and he loves them for who they are. Most fathers know that with their children, they have a real treasure.
