Every now and again (definitely not infrequently) people ask me if I feel like I'm missing out by not having a daughter. If you need a black and white answer, it's "no." Not even once. If you need something a little more in color, look at this. Let me assure you; I am missing out on nothing:
The family. We are a little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.
