WEDDING GIFT

After trying to conceive for a very long time, my husband decided to give up. He thought he’d never be a father, and even without a medical diagnosis, he tried to make peace with it. Seeing couples with their children was heartbreaking for me, as all I wanted was to give my better half the best gift yet, a baby. We slowly moved past it and got married. Just one month later I fell pregnant! We named her Gabrielle, as we strongly believe she’s a gift to us from God. My husband is the happiest man, and we’re on this journey together. This has been our pregnancy and I loved every minute of it. MPHO GOEHLER, BRAKPAN
