08 January 2025 - Re-Birth-day. Thank you

"Ready to unwrap something Dad?"

Aunt Rabs dropped in on a call from Sitto.

Mum and I, with You and AK.

Your table is not only for consuming knowledge,

But also for consuming fresh smoothies.

Morning mat time.

The best form of being up in arms 😊

Aunt Leila and the kids checked in.

Uncle Walid ditto, only moments later.

The in-laws dropped in.

The fam in Oz checked in as I was en route home.

To share moments with the kids, they repeated the delightful HB chorus performance.

Ready to step out for a birthday lunch.

Kids demands don't take a time out.

The tree opposite our first table.

You and Vasilisa met.

Mum and AK enjoyed a beautifully illustrated and contemporary book.

Us.

At our second table.

You got to have the tree and kids area as a direct extension of our spot.

Magical, from the starters through to the desserts.

You insisted on me having a slice of 'birthday' special banoffee.

You created an additional play zone.

The freedom to be, is marvellous.

Back home.

 

Thank you.

Days can be days.

Or they can be DAYS!

The significance, or lack thereof, is attached by us. And sometimes it's inspired by others.

The family and friends who checked in today, and who shared sentiments... of intimate, genuine, and loving natures... were inspirational... and... Made the day significant.

May sentiments of significance echo for the three of you siblings... both often and deeply... throughout your lives; and certainly not only on birthdays.
