The cutest baby boy was born earlier tonight, weighing in at 2.99kg! In just a heartbeat the long wait was over and my baby girl became a mommy and my beloved youngest son-in-love became a daddy for the very first time.
On 30 July 2024 I posted CELEBRATE 731 DAYS! and today my beloved hunkingly handsome silver-haired husband and I became grandparents 4.0. He is still OupaAssie and I am still Nana. Munchkin, Boo and Pie now have a brand new little (boy) cousin, Stitchie.
The truth is that life didn’t really find a way, but rather that the One Who IS the WAY, TRUTH & LIFE blessed us with new life. Thank you, Lord! Welcome, our precious little Alex de Beer! Tomorrow we will celebrate with your uncle Jack and his beloved aunty Megan in East London as they get married exactly five years after their relationship first started. On Sunday morning we will head back home to Bloemfontein to meet you and I look forward to it more than I can even begin to express.
Congratulations Martin & Jess on the birth of your firstborn! Congratulations Adam & AnneMarie on the birth of your very first grandbaby!
Lief, lief Lulu…hier is ek met trane in die oë. Hier kyk en kyk ek na klein Alex… na hierdie klein, beliggaamde siel en gees uit die Vaderhand. Om kon ons Vader in die hemel ‘n beter familie vir klein Alex gekies het as juis julle? Dankie, HERE, dankie. En seën hierdie tyd van neergietende seëninge— nuwe huwelik, nuwe ou babatjie, hervergroting van Lulu en Wouter se liefde-kloppende harte— met talle aparte en saamgestelde porsies blydskap en vreugde, sekerhede en hoop uit die skatkamers van u genade. En bewaar ons kosbare vriende asseblief op die blye terugreis. AMEN.
Dankie liewe Maretha.
