I remembered this date so vividly. I felt the first stab of pain in my stomach. I felt similar pain before, but this pain was more mysterious. I was nine months pregnant carrying a baby and did not know its gender.
I was nervous because it was my first child and even though I heard of and seen deliveries (on tv), I couldn’t fathom the experience. But I was excited because I was going to see and hold my baby in my arms. This date was going to be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
“It’s a boy!” Dr. Ronald Welcome said. So coincidental, Dr. Welcome was the first to welcome my son into this world. He was my perfect five pounds, ten ounces baby boy. He cried when they were taking care of him, but who wouldn’t they were all strangers. The midwife placed the swaddling bundle into my arms, and he immediately stopped crying. Joy and apprehension simultaneously overcame my reality. I looked at this innocent face and dubbed him Andre, my little man.
Today I wish Andre a happy birthday. Today I pray that the creator will continue to guide him down the right path, bestow on his life financial success, excellent health, and longevity.
Join me in wishing my son, Andre, a Happy Birthday!
