    Jarrad McVeigh's story in SMH

    Just read the SMH story on Jarrad & Clementine's journey. Bought a tear or two to my eyes. Such brave people.
    Great news regarding the pregnancy. Hope all goes well this time (looking good so far). Another girl for the Sydney guys. Perhaps we should request a slight change in the father/son rule to include the father/daughter.

    McVeigh tells: I'm so proud of baby Luella

    I doubt anyone could read this and not shed a tear. Best wishes to Jarrad and Clementine.

        A wonderful article on what must have been an unimaginably difficult time for the McVeighs - such brave people indeed! Fantastic news to hear that they are expecting again - fingers crossed this time everything goes smoothly for them.

          I got half way through and was bawling. Heartbreaking story. We have a newborn and I can not imagine what they went through.

              Terrific on every level. For all the right reasons. Bless.

                Fantastic article about a fantastic couple. Impossible for anyone to read it without getting emotional. Wonderful news about Clementine's pregnancy!

                  Wonderful and touching article. I hope Luella's sister will be healthy and strong and give Jarrad and Clementine many years of joy and happiness.

                          Hell, I'm hard as nails emotionally but I had a tear in my eye too.

                          Good luck to them, hope all goes smoothly.

                              I read the article in a cafe and had tears in my eyes. Very well written. Congratulations to all involved.
