…I became a father. Emmy came into this world on her own terms, three weeks early and full of fire, but what to expect from a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Aries? Especially with a Sag for a father and a Taurus for a mother. We were immediately the underdogs. It’s just so damn hard to believe it’s been four years. I’ve got the gigabytes and slide pages to prove it, but still, I’m left wondering how we’ve gone from having to tube feed her every two hours to fatten her up to the point when if I say, “For those about to rock…” she answers, “…we salute you!”
(Complete with fist in the air, and attitude the size of Texas.)
The joy in bearing witness to her life is indescribable. It’s not always easy but it is always, without fail, amazing. And full of love. This is Emmy and my Grandmother a few weeks into this trip we call life.

Parenthood is one of the most challenging and rewarding things that can happen to us in this life, a marvellous blessing (and occasionally headache!) I for one, would not change things for the world (well, perhaps a bit more sleep in the early stages)!
Congratulations and best wishes for your daughter on her birthday and my heartfelt hopes for her and her parent’s future.
We salute you and rock on!
Cheers,
Cameron
