I’ll never forget the thrill Reg and I felt when we discovered we were to become parents for the first time just before Christmas in 1968 the same year we married in the May. 

Our joy was abruptly shaken when doctors told me when only a week pregnant that I could not carry her and I had to terminate for health reasons.  The baby was perfect, I wasn’t.  I refused. We both mother and baby, survived the pregnancy though towards August with Leanne due in early September, things were getting a little risky for both of us.   Our Doctor judged the early inducement perfectly, our beautiful daughter was born alive though severely jaundiced, and it did take a full week to wake her up then three months to get her to feed properly,  J, after that, she has been on the go, go. go J.

 

My beautiful daughter Leanne went from a sleepy baby, then hyperactive child to an accomplished, talented woman.  I don’t know how she keeps up with all she does, I’ll not even attempt to list her talents and skills and she is a mum herself now and doing a wonderful job at this. 

Leanne turned forty recently,  but can’t believe it is possible because after the special cream sponge, birthday cake, cake she was presented with at work to celebrate the special milestone, not helped by my sending here a package of  ‘Old fart’ lollies, she was asking about the best acne treatments. J as her skin reacted more like that of a teenager to the birthday indulgence but I know she loved the treats sent to mark her special day.

Well the pimples didn’t last long and Leanne is as beautiful as ever, and is currently rehearsing for a role in the musical ‘Dust’.

Happy fortieth birthday year to our beautiful talented, daughter, Leanne, from Reg and myself. xxx
