More gratitude. More hope. More love. #24 (birthdays and laughter)

Yesterday, the 12.12.12, was my Dad's 79th birthday. The last in the run of family birthdays for the year. It was a bit of a strange birthday, but I won't go in to that here. We laughed, ate homemade banana and date cake made by moi and celebrated a truly awesome man with a heart of gold.  Dad has taught me many things over the years and he makes me want to be that bit stronger, braver and to live more courageously each day.
