I recently became a father for the first time to my baby daughter named Talah which means star in Phillipines language. A very fitting name for what she’s been through so far. She was born a few weeks early and was transferred from Wigan hospital to Bolton intensive care unit after her right lung collapsed (pneumothorax) and an infection.

She gained strength day after day and after 11 days in intensive care we arrived home just in-time for my birthday and Christmas. She’s feeding so well and gaining weight every day and I’m so proud of her and my wife whom did an unbeievable job and they’re both doing great now.

Huge vow of gratitude and respect for All nurses and doctors that work for the NHS, Thank you for your professionalism and conduct.

I have a new found respect for my wife and all mothers for the miracles they bring in to the world. Becoming a father has surpassed everything I expected it to be and infinitely more. You spend your life struggling trying to figure out what love is but when I held my daughter in my arms and she looked at me for the first time I realised this is it. Nothing else matters, the work hustle, chasing money and achievement. I have everything already.

Ive been working very hard on myself for a long time so I can the best father possible so here’s to the sleepless nights and the rollercoaster of fun that goes along with being a parent.

Daddy loves you very much Talah and mum xx
