21 August 2023 - The art of the gift

Before you go to sleep each night, good night is said to lots of objects;

including some artworks of cats, flowers, and dogs.

One more piece was added to the collection today; in the form of a painting; of dogs.


Not just any dogs.

Rather, your two much-loved (soft toy) dogs were memorialized and 'brought to life'.

Thanks Larisa.



This gift, the artwork extended the birthday celebration by yet another day.

..the soft toys


...the gift



Earlier this morning, when on our little.walk, kids at a nearby preschool responded to our approaching the fence.

They engaged with you proactively.





Later in the day, your hand was out for others.

Not only did you manage to feed your grandma & I

You fed a doll!


As you and your sister explore this world,

Know that we are here for you.

💕💕💕

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...

Leaving China. On the way. Coming in for landing. Landed. Signposting home. Uniting. Heartfelt magic. Uniting with you both. Joy for all ages. Especially the grandparents. Always modest, Aunt Rabs took this airport photo. Getting set to set off. Brief pitstop, for an overview of Wollongong. Symbolism upon arrival to the local lake. Turnout. Shared dinner. Shared times. Mum and I selfied in front of a tree out front. The connecting continued. Farewelling some of the fam for the night. Time with others who couldn't arrive early. AK lights out. Late night sharing. Good night kiss on the way. Mira Matar with her lights out. 💖💖💖 Omran Matar  Dad
