"John 16: 21 - A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when the baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world." That woman is your mother! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw4_arhOZmk&feature=g-all-lik If you like me have ever held a newborn infant in our arms for the very first time or any other time, what do you feel? You feel such great fragility entrusted upon us, don't you? You feel a sudden rush of blood to the brain and a rush of overwhelming love shall engulf you. If you are the mother, you shall soon forget all the pain you went through in childbirth. So childbirth and the labour pain for a mother is necessary. If you have to give birth, choose the natural way and not opt for Cesarean section at first choice unless the situation demands it.  People who are in a certain status or age to have children may never know it until some day when they experience it themselves becaus...

I have just been back from an exhausting but yet rewarding family trip. It didn't helped that I was also away the week before. That left me with no time at all to pen an article for all fathers on this planet but it is better late than never. When I found what little time I had at this ungodly hour before I hit the sack, I also found that seven new countries have reached my blog making it 78 countries in total.

"your children live through you and they'll grow and leave you too". Crank up some hobbies and hook up with friends to keep busy mates. Everybody can treat dad to dinner on Father's Day, it is a noble act and is symbolic but beyond tha...

Mother's Day was celebrated recently. Like Christmas and many other such special occasions, it can easily take on a different meaning, a commercial exercise at best. Nothing wrong with that. I didn't put out a message before hand to have an observation and found that filial piety is alive here or so it seems as restaurants were all full. Today's mothers are no different. I will in no way belittle today's mothers because I have personally witnessed amazing childbirths which is nothing short of miraculous and I have always told people that once you ave witnessed a childbirth, you will change as a person. Many of our parents' generation do not have doctors and the technology available nor the amenities and modern facilities and comfort. Even the doctors were not skilled in cutting the umbilical cords.  I always thought my generation's belly buttons were much uglier as doctors those days just cut, tied a knot and tucked away, they don't do aesthetics....
