First Promise
Welcome Caitlin Jean
As I looked at you today holding tightly on to your dad's finger you are just 24 hours old.
I knew your dad, my son, Jay, would die for you, your mum Cherece, would throw herself under a train to protect you. Your whole family will do everything we can to keep you safe and happy.
Unfortunately it is no longer just your family that decides your future - some of the so called leaders of the world are deciding your future.
At this time in history - this frightens me greatly.
So much so that I now make this promise to you
I will work the rest of my life to make it a better world for you, by your 15th birthday in the year 2015. To do this I must work to make it a better world for all children not just you.
My gift to you to mark your birth on the November 30th 2000 at the Nambour Hospital on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia - is the above promise.
Kerry Bowden
Granma Kerry so very pleased to meet you.
