MEET LUC

I am Luc Strydom. I am 8 years old. My mother calls me a miracle - because she never wanted children, then nearly died (and then decided that she wanted a child), and then the doctors told her should will not have a child soon - but then she did - she had me! I live in Cape Town (South Africa). Because my mother and father love airports, I have travelled since I was very small... I have seen many incredible things and I have met many stunning people. I am not keen to write or to read (or do homework - like most 8 year old boys), but my mother makes me write before I can play on my PSP. And because she thinks I am just be best, she has decided that the whole world should read my thoughts. So here it is, copied by my mom from my private memoirs...

How the world got to know about me

Baby's arrival brings joy

to Strydom family

His name will always remind them of the four months they spent with Marie Moarbes, the French woman held hostage with them last year.

Luc Strydom announced his arrival to the world on Tuesday in the Sandton Medi-Clinic, probably filling his parents, Callie and Monique, with more joy than the day they were released from captivity on Jolo Island.

But Moarbes does not even know yet that she has become godmother of little Luc, because she is on holiday.

He came a little earlier than planned

All that proud father Callie Strydom could do was to leave a message on her cellphone and send her an e-mail.

"A year ago this time, we gave up the hope to be freed in time for my mother's birthday on the 26th. We could not see the end of the tunnel. Now, if it were not for that experience on the island, our son may have had a different name as we would not have met Marie," said Callie on Wednesday.

Little Luc, "with my nose and chin", as Monique proclaimed, and several strands of darkish hair made his way into the world on Tuesday at 11:47am.

He came a little earlier than planned - he did not turn the right way for birth and Monique had to undergo a caesarean section.

Callie was constantly at his wife's side.

"Monique was so worried that I would pass out that she looked more at me than at what the doctors were doing," he said.

His mother, Josie Meyer, said it was the best birthday present she'd had. She recalled how her birthday last year passed in a cloud of worry over the hostage drama and because of reports that Monique had a miscarriage.

"Finally last year's memories are not as bad," she said.

With typical grandmotherly concern and wisdom, she said she had not yet seen her grandson because she had a cold.

The other grandmother, Monica Aggenbag, said it was good that the Strydoms' first baby was a boy "so that he could look after upcoming sisters".
