Abstract
It is said that the love for your own child is one that cannot compare to any other feeling experienced. Most parents love their children unconditionally throughout their entire lifetime. Having a child and working diligently to raise them into a wellrounded human being is a task that all parents should be proud of. Often when a child grows they look for a life partner, someone whom they can have children with and the cycle goes on.
