My head had not long hit the pillow; sleep had so far evaded me despite a long drive back from our home-from-home in Oban and an exhaustingly exciting (but victorious) Liverpool cup final.
My wife bursts into the room and quickly turned the big light on. "I knew it. I knew it!"
My eyes were open and I jumped from the bed as though I hadn't been almost asleep seconds before.
I took in my wife's smile, the tears that shimmered with a happy glow; her eyes like a pool with two diamonds at its centre. Then I saw the object in her hand; there was two lines.
Two lines which meant there were now three hearts between us.
I smiled. I laughed. I thought about 9 months from now, sleep would evade me once again.
And I can't wait for it.
The best story I’ve ever written; and a bundle of new chapters ready to be told. Pages of a book we cannot wait to write.
We cannot wait to meet our little storyteller in November 2024 🥰❤️🐘
What a beautiful story. So happy for you, Chris! Congratulations!
Ah congratulations Chris!
