What is the strongest emotion you have experienced as a parent?

Yeah, it's a mixture of amazement and despair. I get amazed at her learning when she says the right thing at the right moment without we having taught her about it. She just picks up these words from adults and fits them correctly in her situations. I also remember being in tears at not being able to soothe her on our first day back home from hospital. And, feeling despair when she fell on her face and had bloody teeth and gums :( I was alone at home and was almost shaking with fear!
