It's just, and the joy you get from being their parents, sure, there's like hard times, but the joy is also, I mean, it's, you can't describe it.

You can't measure it.

It's amazing.

And there's also studies showing that, right?

That, you know, married couples and having children is associated with a longer life.

Like having that family tie.

Having those relationships are so important.

Now, I'm not just saying I'm not saying all those single people out there.

I know it's like a thing now.

There's like younger people.

They're like, oh, I'm never going to get married.

It is, it is.

And I waited till later in life to have my son, and that's because I was pursuing academic pursuits in my academic career.

And it is something that, I mean, I don't regret to have an amazing son.

I love him more than life itself.

And it gives me a sense of purpose, right?

But I will say I wish I'd started earlier and had more children.

And all I can say to people out there that are in that mentality is that as you get older, things change.

And it's harder to have relationships if you don't establish them early.

And a spouse and the love that you have for your spouse is so incredible.
