I know he hated waiting, it probably almost killed him. It was a long labour but I've been attending through worse.

I think as the years passed the waiting got easier. Calin, our first daughter was born a little over two years later. Then came Michelle, David, Nick and the baby, our princess, Sarah. We were happy, we didn't need to move into a bigger house. My childhood home, where me and my seven brothers had been raised was quite big enough.

We discovered as our children grew up one thing that was luckily a dominant trait between us. We still don't know where it came from but every one of our children has at least one thing in common with me, and that, that's our eyes.
