14 years ago, my beautiful daughter, Catriona, was born at St. Lukes Hospital in Wisconsin, on October 8, 1997.
I still the remember the day she was born. My ex-wife and i were at the hospital many times because of false labor. Then on October 7th, we went in again. We stayed overnight and not much happened. Around 10:30 in the morning, I got hungry and wanted to get something to eat. The ex said ok and the nurse said go ahead because not much had been going on and there was a possibility she was going to go home in a few hours. So, I went for a walk down 27th St. and walked for a few blocks and nothing was happening. I found a Ned's Pizza was open, so I got a couple of slices of pizza to go. I walks about the 6 blocks back to the hospital and when i got into the room, the nurses were scurrying around and the doctor just entered the room. The ex was about to deliver and she delivered our baby daughter 10 minutes later. Thank goodness I didn't eat in or walk a few more blocks in my quest for food.
So, to my wonderful daughter, who is a whole lot smarter than I ever was when I was in Junior High, Happy Birthday.
Love Dad
