00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: me to do and very personal thing to do, but

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: I really want to share it with everyone. Sam's nearly

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: nine months pregnant. We're how many months pregnant? Semi thirty

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: two going on thirty three weeks?

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, I think yeah.

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: And hey, hey a feeling Simmy, how's it going.

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm good. I'm feeling really good. Yeah.

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: Great, like having a walrus next to you in the night.

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how I mean. I do not sleep

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: a week at the moment. Seriously, it is totally wild.

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 4: Are you struggling to sleep? Sim thirty two? Yeah?

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: Right?

26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 4: So what is it just because you're in uncomfortable positions.

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: No, maybe I'm just tossing and journey a lot. And

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: then you know, I've got a pillow between my legs,

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: pillow behind me, pillow in front of me. When I move,

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: all the pillows move.

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 5: Oh, a real pillow forward in there.

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: The amount of mattress I have left over is the

33
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: size of a visit. Might I am curled off on

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: the edge of the bed. I'm like a dog at

35
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: the end of the bed. That's my situation anyway, Sammy,

36
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: I obviously getting to this this you know how pregnant.

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: You are, obviously very close to having a baby. It's

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: been a hell of a time getting here, and I

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: really wanted to write you a letter basically just telling

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: you how I feel about what you've been through to

41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: get to this stage. And yeah, how how amazing I

42
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: think you've been through the whole process. So I think

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: we're going to go to a song and then on

44
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: the other side, yeah this, Yeah, I wrote this over

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: a couple of hours this morning while I was away

46
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: from you. And you're probably going to cry a lot.

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 5: Probably get some tissues Australia or not Australia, but yeah,

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 5: I think everyone's going why I'm doing this.

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: It's a very yeah, it's very Yeah.

50
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: I was talking about it's a very personal thing to do,

51
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: but I feel like, I really it's a really nice

52
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: thing to share. And I just think Sam has been amazing.

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,880

Speaker 1: Give me some credit. Amazing.

81
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,960

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: All Right, here we go. This is to you. It's

85
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: called it's called impossible inevitability.

86
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 4: You named the letter, you gave it a title.

87
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just how difficult word.

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: No it's not.

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 4: It's not.

90
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: English, Sam, second language. You know what inevitability means though, right, yeah, okay, great,

91
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: all right, impossible inevitability. All right, here we go, all right,

92
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: dear Sammy. One of the chats I first remember having

93
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: with you was how much we both wanted to have children.

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: Even then I hoped it would be with you, But

95
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: it was a fancy, too f child to fathom. It

96
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: was a dream, a wisp an impossibility. And now, at

97
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: thirty two weeks pregnant, inevitable. Even now, how you've done

98
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: it seems impossible. You don't know how to grow a human.

99
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: You couldn't even grow a vegetable patch. Even the best

100
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: sciencests in the world couldn't grow a human. And yet

101
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: you have all on your own, all by yourself. Impossible,

102
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: now inevitable. In the world's worst lockdown, our circumstances defined impossible.

103
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: Your family and your home were unreachable. We even had

104
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: to do scans over video call, and that one scan,

105
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: the stillness of it. Impossible that something so small could

106
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: break a heart so big. But by God, by the

107
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 1: end of it, I was so hapless. You were so strong.

108
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: The sorrow, the sorrow was inevitable, but giving up was impossible.

109
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: Luckily we won again. And then the changes, the body transformation,

110
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: the tummy tumbling, the back pain, the nausea, the insomnia,

111
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: the weight gain, the food craving, the unknown, the opinion,

112
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: the opinions, the designating, the designated, driving and navigating my ego,

113
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: all whilst the moving house with raging hormones on the

114
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: other side of the world from all your support. Impossible

115
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: that my child might have warmth, grace, intuition, tact emotional intelligence,

116
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: a normal sized head and just and just a sliver

117
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: of all of your strength with you as there now

118
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: an inevitability that I could do what you've done in

119
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: the last eight months impossible. That other women continue to

120
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: all the time everywhere is inevitable. That we might love

121
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: anything more than each other was once impossible, but that

122
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: the greatest thing in my life is about to be

123
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: achieved by someone else is now completely inevitable. I love you, will.

124
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: Oh, we so much. Thank you.

125
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: That's okay, okay, I'm not very many school works when

126
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: you conserve with the fatimable, I know. Thank you, Okay,

127
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: I love you.

128
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: I love you very much. Okay.

133
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 4: kill me. Oh, I need to write a letter. Amazing stuff.
