Mr. Speaker, on Friday, June 18, [name removed for privacy] made his much-anticipated entry to the world. Loved to the moon and back by his mom [name removed for privacy] and dad [name removed for privacy], my first grandchild could not have been born to better parents.
His Auntie Jill, Uncle Rob and cousin Bayley cannot wait to meet him, and his great-grandmother Betty is excited to hold the wee bairn in her arms.
[name removed for privacy]'s strength and huge heart will make her an incredible mom.
I am so proud of the man [name removed for privacy] has become and the father he will be.
[name removed for privacy] will always be surrounded by so much love and affection.
As John Lennon said:
Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Congratulations, [name removed for privacy]. May God bless them and wee [name removed for privacy]. I know Bunka is smiling down on them.
