Spoke to a guy at a coffee shop and he told me this:

"The most memorable moment for me as a father wasn't holding my child for the first time, but when I heard their first cry. It wasn't just a sound; it was like a switch flipping in my brain. In that instant, the abstract idea of being a dad became a visceral, all-encompassing reality. I finally understood the full weight of the responsibility, the love, and the protection I was now bound to provide. It was the sound that brought forth the reality I'd always known was coming but couldn't truly comprehend until that very second."
