I was so afraid of dying and what happens to you after you die and of the thought that I would never see my loved ones again. Of course i didn't appreciate how long life actually is, who can when they are a kid? I realised that for all intents and purposes, i was dead before i was born and that didn't hurt, so why should it be a problem when i do actually die. Realising your own mortality is very freeing and makes you appreciate the world and the people in it so much more.
And besides, you may love your kid now, while he's all cute and cudly, but trust me, when he's a teenager, you won't want that much to do with him and he won't want that much to do with you.
