That moment, the birth of my daughter Priscilla, is by far my fondest memory.

In October 2009, I witnessed the birth of my daughter, my first child. I drove my baby’s mother to the hospital, and after we checked in, I paced around, looking for toys, balloons, and drinks because I knew it was going to be a long night. After that, I stayed in the room the whole time.

When it was finally time to push, I was right there with two cameras, one in each hand! We were laughing and joking, and even the nurse was cracking jokes. Then it was time.

As I watched my baby’s head crown, the nurse and I said at the same time, “Look at all that hair!” My daughter was born with a full hairstyle, and it was the cutest thing ever. That moment, the birth of my daughter Priscilla, is by far my fondest memory.
