Ok if I keep you company for a sec? 

Yeah.

Ok if I try and say something meaningful?

Yeah.

I lost my wife last year. Cancer. That`s the reason I still work so much at my age. Just...trying to pass the time. We were married 53 years. Five children, 11 grandkids. But we lost our very first child duiring the delivery. The reason I went into this field, the truth to be told...

I have spent five decades deliverying babies, more babies than I can count, but therer is not a single day that goes by that I don`t think of the child I lost. And I`m an old man now. 

I like to think that because the child that I lost, because of the path that he sent me on, that I have saved countless other babies. 

I like to think that maybe one day you‘ll be an old man like me, talking a younger man`s ear off, explaining to him how you took the sourest lemon that life has to offer, and turned it into something resembling lemonade. 

If you can do that, you`ll still be taking three babies home from this hospital. Just, maybe not the way you planned. 

Your wife will still be sleep for a little while. Go see your babies. They`re excited to meet their father. I think maybe they got a good one.
