28 August - Baby girls

An early morning text from Dear John to announce the birth of his baby daughter. Ahhhh, finally the Bun is out and she is given a lovely Latin sounding name. I text back congratulations and then think ‘Should I cry now?’ and I decided I should. A short little tear shedding moment, which gets buried in the BF’s shoulder. I hardly ever wished for a kid (maximum three times over more than twenty years and it was never a strong enough wish to do anything much about it) and am comfortable with that, but a baby is a baby and they receive so much love from everyone around them and more to come and smiles all around, and sometimes you just wish that were you. Freshly born today and with another 80 to 90 years ahead to take you to 2100. It’s always comes down to ‘me me me’ doesn’t it. Sorry about that. but if little new princes G needs me, I’ll be here. DJ you just have to ask.
