Our Darling Son

On Sunday morning, we welcomed our beautiful son into the world,
John Shea Marshall. 
Born at 0440 Okinawan time, 7 lbs 13 oz, 21 inches of pure preciousness. 
We are finally home from the hospital, resting and loving on our boy. We could not be more in love. 
Praise God!!

    i want to use this opportunity to tell everyone, that i am very grateful to this man Dr ochuko ochukopowerfullovespell@gmail.com. for helping me get back my husbandโ€™ after he abandoned me for good six months with pains and tears in my heart.My husband before the breakup usually insult and see nothing good in any thing i do, i felt as if i was cursed. my friends advised me to let go but i couldnโ€™t because of the love i have for him which was so strong and could even move ten mountains in a speed of light.So i had to seek for help and i saw so many good testimonies about this man Dr ochuko and i decide to contact him and explain my problem to him and he assured me of good result.After two days of my contact with Dr ochuko my husband came back with apologies and love that he had never show me before. right now he doesnโ€™t insult me any more rather he tells me how pretty and wonderfully made i am by God each morning. .Today i am also sharing my testimonies and experience about Dr ochuko which he is so wonderful and i will never stop publishing his name so that who ever that is going through breakup and problem in their relationship should also contact him so he can also help you.Once again Dr ochuko i am extremely grateful to you ochukopowerfullovespell@gmail.com
