Years ago, when we were talking about staying together, I told Anna that I couldn't give her a child because I had had a vasectomy. Her English was still very poor and with hindsight it became obvious that she hadn't understood when she kept asking why she wasn't pregnant!
Whilst she loves Tat (her son), she really longed for a daughter.
Last Autumn, Anna's sister Nam gave birth to a baby girl and after much debate in the family it was agreed that the baby (Nan) should be brought up by us. Incidentally, Nam is now pregnant again.
So now we have a daughter. Anna is over the moon! Me? Delighted for Anna, Nan has already found a place in my heart .... but, hell, I'm 54 .... this was not on the plan!
Nan is normally on show in the bar between 3-6 pm. Pop in and see her. (You could buy a drink too - I'm losing sleep about my ever receeding retirement now that there is one more mouth to feed and educate!)
