Twenty-one Things I Love About You…

To my son, Daniel, on your Twenty-first Birthday!

Dan…Twenty-one on friday!

You lit up my world from the first moment you kicked into this world, my head-strong beautiful son.
One…
Your smile has always been one of my favourite things about you. You can light the darkest place with it.
Two…
Your eager delight at the world about you. Your excitable nature from shweep to slox…(sheep and socks!)
Three…
Our little Danny boy, full of mischief and fearless adventure!
Four…
Your straight-forwardness is strength. Your favourite animal at Gelli Aur aged five was “A big animal with sticks on his head!” A stag.
Five…
Like a bulldozer you throw yourself into everything with true gusto and sometimes very little thought for consequences, but you always survive!
Six…
I love how you share and love, your love runs deep and strong.
Seven…
You have empathy that will guide both you and those about you, and your example will always inspire.
Eight…
I have never met anyone who can bond so easily and so well with so many, and make a positive difference in their lives!
Nine…
You have an endearing innocence and naivety, and this is why so many will love you for your honesty and integrity.
Ten…
Your smile lights up so many lives as your sense of fun shines through!
Eleven…
You embrace the simplicity and beauty of life with courage and joy!
Twelve…
You can be anyone you want to be, dig deep, work hard, and be true to yourself.
Thirteen…
Don’t ever give in. Life can be tough and frustrating, but you can always overcome and win!
Fourteen…
You have grown slowly with confidence and you will become a beacon of light, a lighthouse…
Fifteen…
The way you love is deep and honest and without bars, and your hugs can heal broken spirits.
Sixteen…
Your sense of adventure will take you far and help you carve your place, don’t lose it!
Seventeen…
I love your spirit of generosity. You care deeply for those around you and always fight for those in need.
Eighteen…
Strength and devotion are both naturally abundant in your nature, a true soul of beauty.
Nineteen…
You know your worth, a son of faith and spirit, our son…
Twenty…
The world is at your feet…it’s yours…
Twenty-one…

Bekah…Twenty-one Today!

That very first nudge in my tummy that preceded the kicks and thrusts demonstrates the strong-willed daughter I carry now and will carry forever in my heart.
One…
Our deep loving little pixie who carries her teddy everywhere by the bobble on his hat!
Two…
Your eloquence. At three you were singing ‘Blaa Blaa Black Sheep’, but your speech has and always will be eloquent and beautiful.
Three…
Our little BeckyCat, full of mischief and eccentricities…
Four…
Already at five you have quirks – can’t have a clock ticking in your bedroom, and you’re very precise and grown up!
Five…
A true little bookworm, you read brilliantly, you read lots and you read every night before you go to sleep.
Six…
You know exactly what you want and you move confidently full steam ahead to get it!
Seven…
You are an intelligent choice spirit, destined to be here now, to learn and grow and blossom.
Eight…
You explode when you get angry, but that eruption is over fast! You’re bright, clever, beautiful and talented; don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise!
Nine…
You have a strong sense of justice, the world often does not, but you inherently know right from wrong and fight for it.
Ten…
Your creative spirit grows stronger all the time, developing a love of art and words.
Eleven…
You are an amazing example!
Twelve…
You are our Empyrean Pixie, full of fire and confidence, you can rule the world!
Thirteen…
You have the spirit of a pioneer. If you’d been born to a different life you’d have crossed the plains fighting for your beliefs – be a pioneer today!
Fourteen…
You have the gift of Integrity, your honesty and sense of right and wrong will always place you on the right road…
Fifteen…
A rebellious devil lives on your shoulder – be a rebel, but in all the right ways! Fight for what’s right, rebel against the world, and blast your way forward!
Sixteen…
Your art is truly wonderful; a great talent that will carve you a path in life – always use it and improve it! Have fun with it!
Seventeen…
I love your strength to overcome. The obstacles you find in your way always make you stronger.
Eighteen…
You are growing into your beauty and can recognise it yourself, never lose that!
Nineteen…
You know your worth, a daughter of grace and spirit, our daughter…
Twenty…
The world is at your feet…it’s yours…
Twenty-one…
