Review of Graham Shelby and the Heartbeat Story

This is a sweet poignant tale, one that will be stitched into the annals of the Shelby family, and that the triplets will hear ad infinitum as they grow up, all things going well (fingers crossed that they do). The news still seems to be sinking in, as Shelby marvels at the sheer numbers involved compared to his solitary childhood; as the spectre of another miscarriage looms, he ponders whether 3 heartbeats now will translate into 3 little ones in a few months time. So this is a story of hope, tinged with reality, and a healthy dose of apprehension for the task ahead, and as such would make a great ATC or ME commentary. A reminder that life goes in spite of pending elections, and bloody wars half way around the world.
