28 July 2023 - Surprise: The best present is your presence

Your maternal grandfather had an operation recently.

Almost 4 hours drive away from where we live.

We imagined up the best possible surprise. Guess?


An auspicious start to the day, with you claiming your first apple for the season.


Settling in before the drive...


Responding to some positivity...


A break en route...


Mum care...


We arrive to a delighted grandfather!!!

The greatest surprise is you and your presence.

There is no better present!


High five!


The father-daughter relationship is sacrosanct!


Family fun is medication!


Medication for the soul!


Medication for life!


Look up the photo of Einstein)))


Dining at a divine Turkish place in the capital.


A long and emotion filled day.

A day in which your grandfather was left thrilled by the love manifest.

A day in which we got to delight in the thrill, and delight in one another time.


Wishing you and your sister many delightful days and years ahead.

Wishing you both lots of love in all that you do, and with those whom you choose to have close to you in life.

Wishing you the awareness that I am always here for you both (both in person and through these writings).

❤❤❤

Awake. Already a ray of sunshine. Yet, could still do with a little more rest. I returned home near to lunch time, And encountered this scene. Mum's planned-for dessert... which had been left on the table with a cup of coffee... wasn't going to make it. Fate had it that... Your brother cried out for a feed... and She ably responded... and You executed on your plan ☺ Post meal, pure joy. There was also joy, when you stepped out and checked out your new contraption. Before hopping over to the raspberry garden. Early evening, the water melon left on the table was not left untouched. Yes, a theme is forming here... Ditto, the dinner time sushi. The chopsticks were used unorthodoxly, As the fish bits were harpooned. Then a return to civility. "What" you asked? What incivility? There is more than one way to do things in life. And, of course, you were right. ❤❤❤

Your Birthday morning, kicked off on the right note! Birthday dancing. Your musician Grandad, serenading you on your birthday.. Some of the delights enjoyed, thanks for the most part to Mum's efforts! Thanks to our family friend Abu Ali, Lebanese cuisine adorned the table! Beauty-full! A few at the table. Your maternal Uncle assisted as you tried on your doctor's outfit. I was in trouble... The last shot taken, before I was left wet and laughing. Balloons! Having a blast! Beauty and your Bro. The Grandma baked cake! Us. Those who shared the moments in-person. Mum & I bring out your cake. Time to blow out the candles!! Thank you to you and your siblings. You are profoundly important and inspiring. Looking forward to seeing you evolve into the You of your choice. ❤❤❤

A dream gift, Was the actual gift. Thanks to your Mum for honouring my love of family, and my love of art. She is a Jewel. Most fundamental, when thinking of gifts, it's with enormous gratitude that I can report that:  good health permeates our home. Beauty is blooming too. Morning time today, you helped prepare breakfast. Highlights included cracking the eggs, and whisking together the omelette ingredients. We later enjoyed the fresh outdoors. My coat came in handy: for you! What a bonus it was to have your grandparents come and join today. Grandad. Grandma. Celebrating with sushi! And with more family guests. Your grandmother's mother, and her sister & hubbie (& the youngest of their three kids). And more sushi. Did I mention sushi? ❤❤❤ PS: a letter-note-message was added, sealed & delivered with the Father's Day gift PS 2: looking back, at a memory; and looking forward, with hope. ❤❤❤
