64) You will look at me when you near an ERP gantry and ask if i mind waiting 5 mins for it to go off (as i get upset about having to wait), so you can save $2.00 (which i actually find it quite cute and funny at times, as I will do it myself now too)
65) How you will go shopping with me and help me check out the clothes, and help me choose the suitable ones for me to try on

67) The way we reminisce our travels, the many places we have visited together and we just love what we have done

74) You rushed the day through running errands and getting things ready before I was pushed into the operating theatre
75) While I was in the operating theatre alone, going through all the process at first, I knew you were anxiously waiting outside as well
76) You came into the operating theatre after I received the anesthetics, and you reassuringly held my hand, my tears flowed uncontrollably to know you are here with me
77) You lovingly wipe the tears away from my face as I went through the C-section... You kept telling me that everything will be fine, it will be soon over and baby is coming out soon...
78) You followed the doctor to check on the baby and like a proud dad, you tell me how cute our baby is...
79) When I was pushed back into the ward, you held my hand and told me our baby is good, he cried awhile and then sucked his finger calmly... This time, we are no longer just a couple holding hands, we have became parents
80) As a father, you happily smsed and emailed all friends and relatives of the arrival of Little Zave!
81) You took pictures of our little bundle of joy and sent them out for all to share our joy and celebrate this new life!

83) You changed Zave's diapers and help to feed him, easing my duties as a new mum...
84) While you were around during the first 2 weeks of baby's birth, your presence and support made me feel secure. But the very thought of you going to be away from the child and me made me cry each time..
85) How you always call me before you board the flight (to go overseas for work), and this time as a dad, you told me how you will miss your wife and child dearly
86) Every night over the computer, you tell me how much you would love to be with the baby and me (I wish so much that I had you to myself and to the baby... I wish I should have been selfish to ask you to take 1 month no-pay leave for Zave and me...)
87) You came back all the way just to bring Zave and I back to Athens. You wanted to be sure that you can help me with the baby on the long flight
88) Family became a priority for you... Knowing how you put us in the first place, I know I have the world already. It is enough...
89) Being a loving father, you will help me with the house chores and help with changing and bathing the baby. Thank you for being a NEW AGE DAD (NAD)!
90) You always try to bring the baby and me with you, to join you in your affairs and functions, which made me really grateful that you let me play a part in your work life
91) You will be open and listen to what I can advise (when you tell me some issues at work) which may be helpful and aid you in seeing things in a different perspective
92) When you know that I had mild post-natal blues, you went out of your way at times to show your concern for me, so that I don't feel neglected

94) You accepted my new role as your child's mother and you appreciate me for being a good mum to your child
95) You no longer just kiss me before you go to work now... You kiss Zave and me every morning before you leave the house
96) You look at the baby and then turn to look at me (compare the two of us), and smile to yourself at how little Zave looks more and more like me (with a little resemblance of you too)
97) You carried the baby in one hand and hug me in the other hand (and say how this mummy also acts like a kid and fight for attention with the baby)
98) You smile and laugh at how our baby Zave is so cute and makes your day by just looking at him (and his funny actions sometimes)
99) How you became a driver Daddy while the baby and I took the backseat, but you readily took up your new role as a great dad and make sacrifices for Zave and me
100) God made us in a pair and we have found each other in this life...
Lastly...
