Today is Sai King`s birthday ( Happy BD one more time, Sir! ), so it got me thinking about BD presents.
Just a few days ago it was my daughter`s 9th birthday ( 9th, that`s right, friends and neighbors, I still remember like it was yesterday when I posted a picture of her here, just a few hours after she was born ) and of course, she got loads of presents.
The one she liked the most was a present from me, I wrote a diary/ book for her, everything that happened in the year between her last BD and this one. But it`s not a classic diary, there is lots of stuff in it about our family history, who we are, where we are coming from, stories about the old country before everything went to hell ( that tale will be in another book I`ll write to her in a few years time, too early still for a child ) tales about her family she yet has to meet ( and God, I hope she gets to see my Mom while there is still time ), some thoughts of mine about life, what`s important and what`s not and so on.
It was an epic journey for me, it has been ages since I wrote something in longhand, anything, never mind something over 300 pages like this one is.
I already started a new one for her next BD, this one will be around 500 pages since she complained that she LOVES the book but is sad it`s not longer...
So...what was the best BD present you ever got?
Love and lights.
