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

"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....
