It’s Father’s Day but wait, there’s more

On top of being Father’s Day in the land down under today, memories of holding my first born just over thirty years ago have again been reignited as we eagerly countdown the days until the arrival of our first grandchild.

The very image of our son holding his first child with his beautiful and enchanting soul mate by his side will be a sight to behold.

Having put aside all thoughts of actually being old for so long, I will abandon my vanity when this miracle occurs and proudly state thereafter, “Yes, I am a proud old grandad”.

So, to all the Aussie dads out there, I wish you a very happy Father’s Day. For those that will shortly be a father for the first time, I say, “Well done” and on the proviso that your better half agrees and that you can afford it, “May many more follow!”

Steve and Nicole, we love you so very much and are extremely proud of you both. May your life together be free of hardship, full of love for each other and hopefully one day, we’ll get to see a great-grandchild as well!

Nicole, on the day of the birth even though we will be far away, you will be utmost in our thoughts.

To finish off, just in case you’re wondering, the poll I had going came in 10 to 2 in favour of these two love birds having a little baby girl. We’ll all have to just wait and see, won’t we?
