A heavenly ride through our silence

My dear sunshine,

"Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun..."

Love,

Your father

PS. Borrowed those words from David Gilmour, I'm quite sure he won't mind.

Our impact

My dear sunshine,

You came to this world exactly two years ago at this time.  Your birth, however little and unimportant to many people who live on this planet, affected some lives in a profound way i.e. you parents to say the least.

Whatever we do, intentionally or unintentionally affects our surroundings. The strength of the impact does vary but the impact is and will be there nevertheless. This is simply the law of nature, this is physics, and this governs our universe.

Happy 2nd birthday, may the rest of your life be as joyful and resplendent as these 2 years.

Endless love,

Your father

The best language

My dear sunshine,

His Highness Rumi pointed out once that if you speak with your heart, you would be able to break many [communication] barriers that you may not be able to do otherwise. 

Speak from your heart and you'll be able to penetrate people's hearts...maybe!

Love,

Your father
