The one about birthdays....

Hi there! On Sunday 8th May, my son turns 1-year old! Yes, we are having a party for him a day early on Saturday. Now to Ethan it probably would pass as pretty much "one of those days"; with just a tad more people around him than usual. Anyway, its really for his mum and me.... kinda recognition that we managed to get him thru that first year safely!

Considering, the little fellow's easily my greatest creation to date (and I certainly didn't do that myself, either), I sure would like to "celebrate" this momentous occasion. Don't worry, I'll be taking a whole lot of photos so the poor fellow never forgets what his parents went thru in his early days.

Well, Ethan, if and when you ever get to read this and understand, remember one thing. You are a culmination of many aspects of my life, but most importantly, through you, my persona and my knowledge achieves vicarious immortality.
