The bulk of our family birthdays are around this time of year - not much planning there then. I won't list them all but it was Joe's last month, Nick's (stepson) earlier this month and today it is David's. Unlike Joe, he is not named after a song (I know!) but after our GP at the time when I was pregnant with him. Dr H would call often to check on me and so naming our new son David, seemed the logical thing to do and David Doctor was chuffed!
I don't want to embarrass him (oh yes I do!) but our David has real empathy with people and can, for example, tune straight into my mood, knowing if there is something 'not right' - spooky! He is strong, solid and supportive of me and the whole family. He took up playing the guitar at a very early age (as the collage shows!) and is now a talented musician, whose musics can tap into a range of emotions.

His 'day job' working with people with learning difficulties, requires dedication, compassion and a level of understanding I for one don't possess. From last weekend, the lead up to his actual birthday has been........eventful for the wrong reasons! So, I can only say 'A Very Happy Birthday David' and that I am looking forward to celebrating with you very soon. Oh, and here's to the new flat and a good night out! xxxx
