how you doing, buddy? gary can t even ride his bike to work without a stroller whizzing by. growing up italian, this is something i was taught to want, grow up, get married, have kids. they ve been together 20 years. both men are in their late 40s. there are a zillion kids in this park. i would watch one or two kids interact and follow them around and think, i want to have a child. this couple is ready for the next big step in life. gary and tony want to have a baby. why have a baby? why is it the next logical step. i thought at the end of my life, what am i going to say, do i wish i had a bigger apartment or do i wish i had a baby. it was no-brainer. i ve always loved kids. there s nothing like the love of a child.
