My wife Tamara

If I had to explain my wife to anyone in a five words or less I would have to say “Greatest wife in the world”.

Why do I say this you ask, while there are too many reason for me to name so here are a few:

1. She makes me laugh
2. She is caring
3. She can hold a good conversation
4. She makes me try new food
5. She is a great mum
6. She makes me smile when I see her in the morning
7. She makes me smile at night when I go to bed
8. She listens to me
9. She knows me better than anyone in the world
10. She stands by me no matter what happens

Tamara to you I have to say that I love you more today than the day I married you. Everyday, even when things are not going as planed I love you more.

Tamara and I have been through a lot together, and I am sure we will go through a lot more. But know matter if it the times be good or the times be bad our love will grow just as we will grow as a couple.

One year later

One Year ago Life for Tamara and I changed as Elysia entered the world.

I have to say that the last year been a big blurr. It all began when I drove Tamara to the hospital as she was scheduled to be induced. Over the next 12 hours I sat and watched as the love of my life sucked back laughing gas and screamed in pain. (I was also watching the longest day and Saving Private Ryan as it was the 6th of June).

At around eight at night the Dr. came and said " we gotta get her into sugary ASAP. The next thing I knew there were twenty people in the room and nobody was telling me anything.

Then all of a sudden they took me down the hall to the nursery and told me to sit in a chair. Not knowing what was going on, I sat down. All the while I am asking "can someone tell me what is going on". Finally one of the older nurses saw that I was upset, gave me a big hug, and told me that everything was okay. The baby was in distress and they needed to get her out ASAP. She then told me to sit down and wait a few min for the baby.

Then a nurse entered the room, looked at me and said here is your little baby girl. This was the first time I ever looked at my Elysia. I could not believe how small she was. I can remember thinking WOW she is so beautiful. Elysia then looked up and started to scream. And to my surprise she screamed for the next two hours until Tamara was cleared from post Op.

For the next four days I was a slave to Elysia and Tamara. Correction...I should say for the next twelve months. June 10th, 2009 was a great day, as I got in the car and drove my family home.

Now a year has passed, and I have loved every day. I love being a dad. With every new day comes a new development. But the best part of my day is when Tamara, Elysia and I are sitting down and playing together. It makes me thankful for what I have.
