Seeing His First-born Daughter
Brooks held his newborn daughter for five minutes straight after picking her up. In addition, he kept exclaiming, “Wow, I can’t believe we just had a kid.” Incredibly, the soldier had actually made it to the other side. Afterwards, Brooks recalled, “I held my daughter for the first time and embraced and kissed my wife.” “It was an emotional experience, particularly because I wasn’t there to see the delivery.”
As he said this, “She’s wonderful,” he said. Brooks was only able to remain for four days, unfortunately. Finally, he would be returning to Fort Bliss. Thus, the pair was forced to make the most of their little time together.
