Dear Andrea and Russ,
I was blessed to be at the station when Gabriel was born. Andrea, you were so calm throughout the process while poor Russell was beside himself with worry. His love and concern for your well being was obvious. I hope some of the pictures taken after Gabriel’s birth looked good. I am sure the one of Andrea on the stretcher turned out fine because Andrea, the joy lit up your face.
I wish I could express how grateful I am to have had the experience of witnessing Gabriel’s birth.
