Wow , Congrates man.

I'll tell you a story man.

I was so afraid , I didnt think I was ready. I mean I was 22 years old. I thought , ok from here on out I change everything. I didnt think I could do it........

Let me start from the begining....

I was a solgiar , me and my wife were in Germany. Now I was at a change of command ceremony , If you have never seen one or been in one , it works like this:
The base CO is leaving and there will be a new base CO. So a ceremony is held for the old CO to say , Had a great time , blah , blah. And the new CO to say Im proud to be a part of 1st Armor Div. , blah , blah....

So we are ALL out there , the whole base( exept the guys that have duty , gate guards , medics , ect. ). So right in the middle of this ceremony the Pl. Sgt comes around and wispers in my ear , " Specialist Sewell , fall out and meet me behind the formation" So I do , and he tells me The Lt. has taken my wife to the hospidal. So Im outta there. Had an Audi then , and Germanys Autobaun has no speed limit.........140MPH to the Launsthul Hospital! lol.

Now that was a bad night , may have gotten 4 hrs of sleep between me AND my wife. 28 hours later , we are ready....

I swear I had to take a knee , I almost passed out TWICE! But about 8:30 that morning , I met my Daughter for the first time.

Despite the fact I had not sleept in almost 3 days , I got up 6 times that night just to check on her.

The day before she was born , I was not ready to be a father. The day before she was born , I was not ready to be that much of a man.

But the day after I was. And every day after that I have grown stronger. My little girl is 4 now , and she is telling me ALL about everything , Why this and Why that.....lol.

This will be one of the most amazing things that has ever happen to you man.

Once again , Congrates and welcome to parenthood.

P.S. Get a copy of Bill Cosbys Himself. Watch this with your wife. You will now understand what he is talking about.
