I left a message in an intra-family chat today.  This was it's essence... "Families sometimes have the good fortune of having someone who changes the trajectory of the clan. When this is spoken of, it's usually due to changing the financial position of a family.. and often in consequence of that, other aspects of life too. New trajectories don't happen by chance. They come from a decision. And action. A dream. And execution. A vision. And actualisation. In the Matar family, there is a someone who changed the trajectory of his family. And that someone is your Grandfather Mohamad Matar.  Your Grandfather is a gift to us, and to the broader family. And he has gifted us with much.. kicking off with the commitment to have myself & your Uncles & Aunts receive the key to opening future doors. Namely, the best possible education; irrespective of the cost to Him and Grandma.. Most recently, he stood firm with support for us going out to Australia  Happy Birthday Grandad...

Morning.. and always covered in make up. AK woke up a little later and assisted you. Those kind eyes. Before I took off to run errands. Back. And then I took you with me the next time I took off. Garden time. Favourite nutrition time of the year. Mixing the indoor with the out. More munching time, at dinner time. As Uncle Mohamed always notes about you: that expressiveness! 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

The simple magic of "Daddy, catch me". The simple magic of chase. Beauty in motion. And then early evening, it was beauty standing still. Nutrition rich forest micro-size strawberries were bought and enjoyed for the first time (this season) today. (...for perspective...) A plant with love-heart shapes leaves was found today too. Before we headed back in to wind down, an evening snack was savoured alfresco: 'Shar-lot-ka' 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

Haskap berries are a newbie in our world. And a healthy addition at that! Surprise return guests. Doctors Sasha and Yulia came with their friend Paul (who brought a parcel from Poland).  A little bike time. Only the second time for you. And the first for AK... Assisted of course! Paul returned with a bonus! ..and he was treated to a gift from you! The gift of home grown strawberries! ...and savoured those berries were! 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad
