Our Greatest Achievement 

There have been some amazing moments in my life

But three of them have created beautiful pictures

That will remain frozen in my memory

Something I can call upon on a rainy day

That will bring a smile to my face

And the feeling of unmatchable love to my heart

Each one came with a different story

The first was unknown and dramatic

Strangled by a tangled umbilical cord

The lack of oxygen never affected her super brain

The second was messy and funny

He opened all down, my shirt, trousers, and trainers, and I stood in a sticky puddle

Strangely, he grew up to be, the tidiest

The third was supernatural

He turned his head and looked me straight in the eyes as I spoke

He could run at eight months and he grew into a 6' 6" giant

But the most beautiful thing I have ever seen still remains

My wife and I sharing, our first moment, with our first-born child

Our love for them is no different

But that special moment leaves you with a feeling you can't explain

So, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words

Footnote:

My children are all grown up and building lives and families of their own and it gives me great pleasure when sharing these magical moments with the next generation.

That's the Day 1 photo shown above, the real thing, it gives me goosebumps, aren't they both so beautiful.
