  • Join me as I document on video, what was so different about having a baby here in the Philippines, versus having a child in the US. I actually didn't intend to do a vlog like this, but after spending several hours in the dead of night in the tropics in my truck in front of the district hospital, I just thought it would be cool to talk about the experience for my son in the future.

    Yes rick like you I was also married before and have grown up children .
    But the feelings are so different when your an older person , I remember when I was in Cebu hospital waiting for the birth of our daughter I was so emotional and feeling on top of the world !!!
    It felt so good we ended up with another one 5 years later 😂 haha.
    Anyway Congratulations to you both 🎉

      Yes sir, you are right. When my girls were born 30+ years ago, I was clueless when it came to Fatherhood. Just worked all the time to provide for my family and missed out on so much of the girls growing up. With Benjamin, I have a little wisdom under my belt and retired to boot. Really looking forward to being a part of all the little things that I will experience with Benjamin. You described the feeling perfectly brother!
