Kicking off with corn.


Fresh air, and fresh energy.


Our friend Abu Ali made some delicious falafel for us.


We put the pieces together at home.


And you all got to savour.


Relax and 'read' time.


A break between dances;
To the live music on display.


A read before a rest.

I left a message in an intra-family chat today.  This was it's essence... "Families sometimes have the good fortune of having someone who changes the trajectory of the clan. 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
