Austin Rhodes Goes Back In Time
Monday on the Austin Rhodes Show, Austin went back in time to share a special clip from 15 years ago. It was the day his son Beau was born:
Back In Time
Young Austin: “March 17th, 2009. My son’s birthday. As you’re hearing this commentary play, I am at my wife’s side and no doubt watching her go through the beginning stages of her induction into childbirth. Little man is supposed to be born probably sometime today. Hopefully sooner rather than later. But I’m told these things take some time with a first born. It’s the first time, even though my daughter’s 18 years old next week. This is the first time I’ve been through a complete pregnancy and in fact, the childbirth. And finally my own child. And while I did witness a couple of them when I worked in the emergency room at MCG back 25 years ago, this is the first time that I’ve been a. Well, let’s just say ground level participant in the process from beginning to hopefully this afternoon, a very, very happy end.
I want to thank everyone that took the time and, effort to send letters, email, phone calls, prayers, kind wishes. Bobbie and I really appreciate this. There was a point in time, right after she and I met each other, that I didn’t think we would be together very long, simply because she was completely and totally set on having her own child one day, and I knew that was an impossibility with me. And besides that, already had a daughter, and I just didn’t want to grow my family any more. But over time, I loved this young woman so much, my wife, that there was no way I could deny her that request. So through the miracle of modern science and a whole lot of money, thank goodness gracious, knock on wood, we could afford to do it. Little man’s being born this afternoon, and, well, I’m gonna have fun over the course of the next several years telling you this story the way that I’ve told you about my daughter Christine coming into the world. This is an incredible day, and I thank you for all your kind wishes. In the meantime, also kind wishes and prayers offered this morning to our colleague Harley Drew. He’s undergoing some serious surgery this morning. But we’ve got a great prognosis from the doctors, from his doctors. And here’s hoping everything goes as well as I possibly can for him. And that he’ll be back in the saddle very soon. A big day for everybody here. Say a prayer. Keep your fingers crossed for both of us, and we’ll see you tomorrow. Hang in there.”
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Sometimes a special moment like that just has to be shared! So, for just a few moments we all went back in time! It was a sweet and special clip and a great reminder of the difficulties of conceiving via IVF. And from all of us at WGAC: Happy birthday Beau!
