29 March 2025 - Indoors, unwell. Outdoors, in motion.

Still not well.

Still unstoppable.


Seated opposite in his own high chair,
Wandering around his own thoughts.


Still reflective,
But already outdoors.


Already in motion;
Before you passed me that skipping rope.

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

08 August 2024 - Top time on the Table top

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. ❤❤❤
