When my wife was seven months pregnant,the doctors said that our baby was so tiny that he would never survive the birth.That sent her into a depression,not to mention my state of mind.
At eight months,it was decided that a Caesarian would be the best all round.Meaning that I couldn't be there to witness the birth.
She refused the offer of anaestetics up untill the moment when the pain of having her stomach opened became too much.
Consequently,I was the first to see our son,Vladimir.Weighing 2kilos
100 grams.What a fantastic moment.That was 20 years ago this October.
He now stands at 1.85 metres.The greatest gift one person can give to another.
I should have put all this a lot better but....
