A New Life begins

Dear fellow travellers

Recently we have experienced the loss of far too many fine men, it has been a tragic time on the forum.

Today though I have some good news and wanted to share it.

Our first grandchild was born yesterday, on my birthday. She is Dakota Jane and weighed in at nearly 8lbs, which was a surprise. She was born on her due date and that means she is in the one percent of people who do that, so a star is born xx

Mother and baby are doing well, John and I are over the moon.

As Topgun would say "Life is for Living" and this new baby reminds me that this is true.

Not sure if I can share a picture on here, but let's just say, she is beautiful.

With love

Allison and John

Alison and John,

CONGRATULATIONS, this is exactly the kind of news that we all needed on here, as you say too much sad news at the moment on the forum.

Welcome little Dakota to the world, happy days enjoy your brand new Grandchild.

Allison,


You are so right. We desperately needed some good news and what could be better than this - and on your birthday too!
I have put Dakota's photo in with your birthday greetings on B2PCa and she looks fabulous.

 

Congratulations to you all!

Brillant news, Allison & John. Congratulations.

I agree we all needed good news after the sadness in recent weeks. I count myself lucky that my wife and I will be in exactly the same position in about six weeks time, our first grandchild is due to arrive then.

Enjoy these special times, this is what really matters.

Steve.

Hi Allison

fabulous news what a birthday gift and how well predicted too. Sometimes these things are no coincidence. Dakota looks gorgeous I bet John was extremely emotional bless, I know you would have been there fighting for the first cuddle.. well after giving your daughter a big hug too.
