What someone was doing at home. What someone did at preschool. What you enjoyed together. Barbushku, Dyairdushku, and Uncle Vanya came around. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

22 October 2026 - Reflecting. Responding. Remembering.

Image
Reflecting whilst your hair is being done. Responding to a query, midway through drinking some milk. Jointly absorbed, whilst grape-dancing. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad PS: 23 years to the day since my best friend and 'brother' Olivier was lost

Thanks to Mum for creating and sending me this first thing in the morning. Thanks for the warmth and affection. Thanks for the lovely handmade creation. Thanks for the love. Thank you to you both, and to your sister, for simply being. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

Someone's prep'ing for the cool stroll to preschool. Someone's grabbed Mum's phone upon her returning from the drop off. When Mum asked AK what my name is yesterday, he replied "Daddy Matar". She explained to him that my name is Omran. Then this happened today.. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

19 October 2026 - Socialite gets a new bed

Image
Joy zone, pre preschool. Self-made socialite in training. A step back, in order to enjoy a few steps forward. Bathroom changes. When getting your bed through the front door isn't an option 😊 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

Making a cake for Mum. Pastries that Mum made for us! Art time by AK. Art time by you too. My art time, with blueberries and mandarins. Corny. Beauty. Even when hiding. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

17 October 2026 - Uncle Suhaib's birthday

Image
Happy Birthday and personal anniversary Uncle Suhaib! May you continue in good health, and high spirits. After a little morning fun at this end.. ..we had a fun video call. Vaccinations happened mid afternoon, after a check in with the head of the medical centre. A scene that would make Guy Ritchie proud, after having left. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

16 October 2026 - Your cousin Sophia turned three

Image
Whilst Mira was at preschool, we video-called the birthday girl: Sophia 💥 How fitting the "My Family" creation was on a day like this. Kids are the cornerstone of, and inspiration in, a family. Reverting a little further back in time... Some summertime moments, shared back in February this year. Priceless. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar  Dad

15 October 2026 - The event at preschool celebrating Mums

Image
Celebrating Mums! Catching you, catching us. Grabbing it. Using it. AK catching you. Your own personal photographer. Reconnecting. Clapping in unison. You invited AK into your classroom space, for a few moments. Soon we were off, with a Mum filled with appreciation. Someone came home with a ladybug 🐞  Love. 💗💗💗 Omran Matar Dad
