For those of you waiting for a phone call, this will have to do. I cannot speak on the telephone anymore, as I can't stand losing my voice to choking up. As much as I would want to phone you, please accept this instead. Justin, Shawna, Jon, Bree, Jenn, Bubsie, Carl & Naomi, Tom & Lynn, Gaia & Remy, Guido, Egon, Joost, Marius, Merelyn, Estelle, Oma, John and Doris, Jon Izzard, Tim, Mike, Stephen, Carol, Diane, Elaine, Tannis & Paul, Gener & Korol, Jill & Boris, Jason, Peter, Ginger, Reg and Lou, Lark, Dennis & Lara, Lee, Sensei Bill, Rene, Barb, Estelle, Slawek, Robin, Vic, Del, Larry, Don, Kari, Amy, Levi, Murray & Natalie, Adrian & Sarah, Pat & Sayeed, Art & Myra, Beth, Alethea, Maureen, Clint, I would love to phone you personally, but I can't. I can't talk about what a change this is, about how different things are, how profound the changes life takes once you look down at a child you created.
Maybe in the next couple of weeks, I might be able to call. Until then, know that I was thinking of you, just couldn't speak, that's all.

I love that you get choked up just talking about becoming a father. I hear it is a life-changing event; my mom used to say it opens a whole new dimension of love, that there is no love like that you have for your child.
I look forward to seeing more pictures, and hearing stories. Such a long way from guzzling red wine on that old brown couch; us both married, and you now a father. How things evolve.
yup, btdt. Its so overwhelming and mind-numbingly shocking actually KNOWING you are responsible for this tiny being for the rest of your life. Not that it matters because you are so in love.
Hi Kees,it is with great pleasure that I read your observations about the birth of your son.When you were born on dec 2, 1972 it gave me the greatest high ever.Hope you and Tania will enjoy many joyfull moments with your new son.Love, your dad, Neal.
Tears are rolling down my cheek right now as I read your post. Congratulations to you both - this is a most wonderful time, drink it in and savour it - and take LOTS of pictures! :)
Hi Kees, I am very sad to read that Hannah Jongenelen is 'pased away. I did not know, because I left Maastricht for many many jears. As I came back I started to look for here, but I did not have an adress or phone number any more. I am very sad that I dit not meet here again. I hope that she had a very good live the last years, because I know here from the time that she was with here three little children. I hope she is in a better world now. Many greetings and love for here children
