Nice post Brian! I am also a dad and I am knew to steemit. Sacrifice is definitely something that is required to be a great parent. I am thankful that my 2 year old sleeps through the night now and I can count on a full night of sleep, but I remember the days of walking and rocking and singing and hoping that she would finally fall asleep. Its exhausting, but the exhaustion builds character, and I wouldn't trade the time I spend with her for anything! Thanks for the insight and inspiration!
