Maison Akira Clarke

Maison was born at 12.49pm on the 25/01/2011. Rugby World Cup year.
He was 3.14kg and really healthy.
It was an amazing, overwhelming experience for me as a dad watching maison being born.
Yuka, my Wife, was a Japanese Warrior at birth.
People see her as this small Japanese women, but she would put most men i know to shame
when it comes to real strength and grit in getting one of the most intense things a human being can do.
Obviously giving birth.
No drugs were asked for. No complaints made. She just did pushed.
What most of us don't think about when it comes to women giving birth is the hours upon hours of painful contractions they have to endure.
The "mild" ones she was having would have sent me to the closest drug dealer as soon as possible.
And when it came time to really push and get Maison out, well she just did it. Of course it was bloody painful. And she was very weak afterwards. But man I love her more now than I ever did before.
To see your wife do that is something scary and beautiful all in one.

When Maison's head came out Yuka started laughing with joy. Me? I weeped my arse  off.
I could see my son coming into this world and life is never going to be the same.
I new this. I was scared, but optimistic about the future.
The reason being is because I didn't think I would have a future before I met Yuka Kitane(now Clarke).
And now we have a baby boy.
Live is trippy.
