Uncle Walid doesn't place any emphasis at all on his own birthday. This is somewhat predictable when you look at his approach to life. He is focused on others. He's like both a life boar and an anchor to others in strife. He's also a source of reality checks, and of hope. He's a very special human being. Lucky are those who get to say "He's my brother"... Or in your case, "He's my Uncle!' Pomegranate to celebrate! 💖💖💖 Omran Matar  Dad

Today, we added something to the mantra we daily kick off with. Instead of simply: "It's a beautiful day. And I'm happy to be alive." We added: "I get to learn, create and contribute!" That all came some time after our morning funny faces. AK & Mum focused on a puzzle. The "dude". One of stationary. One in motion. The beauty in the contrast. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

High five competition energised the morning. Apology hug, after accidental bump. Uncle Mohamed, and cat Gus, caught up with us all  Making great use of Mum's creation. The king of falafel, and family friend, Abu Ali came around. Mum creates another space. Uncle Sasha and Aunt Yulia came around. More irresistible watermelon. Our very own Mowgli. Farewell time. 💖💖💖 Omran Matar Dad

In the cubbie sandpit. Dyairdushku came and joined. Watermelon time. ..and some Mum fun 😊  Farewelling Dyairdushku and Barbushku  💗💗💗 Omran. Matar Dad

Waiting for the Doc. Checking to see what those dots mean. Your first time ever buying something for the family with your own money. Giving the money. Having the growers' market seller receiving the money. Having him sort out the change issue. You receiving your change. The raspberries ready for collection! Goodies for you. Goodies for AK. Barbushka came around. And a late lunch was shared. Play was had too. AK blew you kisses, as he and I went off for a walk to grab ingredient for the cheesecake Mum was to make. Real life angry birds.. along the top edge of the 9 storey building we strode past. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad
