If you have a special message to send Reuben for his 6th birthday on May 2nd, we'd love to hear. I feel very touched that each year we've treasured messages from all over the World.
It's my dear friend Kristina's re-reading of this blog which comprises 1,071 blog entries, going back to the first moment of pregnancy, that has again brought me to reflect not only on the terrible pain and hardships, but more importantly on Reuben's resilience to ride the storms. I know he is touched by his past and his positive happy disposition may be peppered with moments of reflection and knowledge of his past and he will feel saddened by it. But overwhelmingly, he is a happy, intelligent, proud, loving and an utterly sociable boy.
The last year has been pretty momentous in terms of what he's achieved and I'm excited to share more on the year's highlights soon on this blog.
We always celebrate the now. Reuben surely teaches us that.
So please do share your comments, birthday wishes and insights. It will mean a great deal now and in the years to come.
Thank you
Catherine ❤
