Katy, thanks for sharing this.  A big pat on the back to you and all your colleagues who must be doing a wonderful job.  I got the biggest goosepimples when I read his words.  Isn't it just so fulfilling to be appreciated?  Best wishes, Lois Wattis   ----- Original Message ----- From: Katy O'Neill To: ozmidwifery Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 2:43 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Unusual gift I work in a hospital system with all the limitations it imposes and so when a father presented us with a gift it real surprised me.   The gift was a lovely silver frame with a plaque on it inscribed with their babies birth date etc plus the following....... " In heaven they have angels                             Here on earth we have midwives."   On the accompanying card he wrote :-  To all new Mums,                                                         Be brave'                                                         Trust in your midwife.                                                           To all new Dads,                                                          Be gentle,                                                         Be amazed,                                                         But above all, wonder at the real superior sex.   It would be lovely if we could always earn this.        Katy.
