Well, my last post was actually in June!,that shows how lazy I am.So many things have happened since June.Wish i got it all written down somewhere.One thing for sure is becoming a father for a second time.I arrived home on the 8Th of August at 2pm,My parents picked me up and we headed straight back to my in laws place in BB.My wife she was full month pregnant,she always looks so cute when she is pregnant.My daughter, Sonia who speaks clearly now,gave me a hug and would not refuse to leave me.My wife was already in full term so, she was starting to have slight pain.On the 11Th of August about 4am, she started having severe labour pain, and we knew that was it.We left about 4am,drove to Rawang about 30 minutes drive.Luckily it was 4am so there was no traffic and i dint speed at all.As soon as we arrived the Doctor said it will be at least another two hours or so before she would deliver.It was just me and her,i hate to see her suffer in pain.Then at about 7am the pain became unbearable, she went into labour.This was my first time in a labour ward,my first born was a ceaser.I was nervous,but i know my wife was drawing strength from me.I could see the pain she went through,how hard she tried,at exactly 7.37am a baby girl was born.No words can describe the joy we had seeing the new born.My wife was tired she had to be anesthetized.So i waled out of labour room,saw the nurses delicatly cleaning my baby.My mind was on God, how powerfull is God?,a new soul has come to the world.The nurse let me hold the baby,of course i was already an expert now.I held my child gently and whispered prayers in her tiny ears
O God, guide me, protect me, make of me a shining lamp and a brilliant star. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful.

Then comes the best part, i started sending SMS all over telling them about this wonderfull gift of God,messages of congrats kept pouring in from everywhere.Then visitors kept flocking to the hospital,it was a joyous moment.To be a father for the second time,gives me jitters actually.10 yrs ago i was running around being irresponsible,doing what all other teenagers will do.Now i have two children who will look up to me.I have a wife who depends on me for moral,spritual and financial support.I wish i can be a father to my children like how my parenst brought us up.Its a difficult task to emulate,but i will try.A child is a greatest gift from God, i have many friends who are trying to have a child but not blessed with one,on the other hand there are people who dump and abondon their children for whatever reason, im sure there is a wisdom afterall we are all God's children.
