To Shania and Mutt

[DOC BILL]

Congratulations! We understand your relief and we share your boundless joy with the birth of Eja. We have tried our best to be patient and supportive fans thru this all and I at least feel we succeeded in meeting both goals. Your child at birth had an instant family made up of your fans that is much larger than you can ever imagine. He found a place in our hearts from the moment we heard you were expecting and will remain there for all times. We wish your entire "family" the best of all things. Those of us with children of our own know how magical it is to be able to use the word "family" in such a very personal way after your first child is brought into the world. On a personal note-I don't know all that lies ahead of you and your own "family" but as a parent I know much of it and there is nothing in this world that is finer or more fulfilling. I would point out that sometime in the future a question will arise that I think I have learned the answer to. The question will be: "When will things ever get to be normal again?" The answer to the question is: "This is normal!" Enjoy the moment and the future and love the child. Congratulations again. DOC

Eilleen and Mutt, this is going to be the happiest time in your lives, other than when you spoke your vows. The joy a child brings to your life and the new level your
relationship will take is the most precious of times. Being a mom myself, being pregnant was an experience in itself, but the joy of motherhood and fatherhood is one to treasure for the rest of your lives.
My family and I want to say CONGRATULATIONS Mr. & Mrs. Lange, and we wish you much joy and happiness always. For you little Eja, we wish you health, happiness and prosperity for the rest of you life. You have two of the best parents and are loved more than you will ever know.

Keeping A Happy Heart!!!

Beautifully said! I would like to add my sincerest congratulations. I also congratulate you on your ability to keep this most intimate time in your lives between the two (now three!) of you.

We continue to love you and now we love that perfect little life that is the best parts of each of you.

Shania and Mutt, congratulations of the
birth of your son, Eja! I too, know
how elated you must be right now. We
as fans love you guys so much and know
that you will be the greatest parents!
You sacrificed so much over the last
few months trying so hard to keep this
very special miracle out of the media!
You succeeded! I am sure I am speaking
for all of us here, when I say how much
respect you for what you've done. It
would have been so easy to just let the
media have their field day but you
chose to put your baby's privacy first!
We are are so proud to be your fans!
We've missed you more than you could
ever know... if you only knew how much,
you'd be overwheimed! But right now, as
much as we can't wait to see you again,
we want you to take time to enjoy your
little baby Eja. You have our support,
love and prayers. God bless you all,
Stan http://www.shania-twain.org/messages/smile.gif
