gratitude

You will always be my sweet sixteen, Nana! I love you.

Like I wrote at the other place, I’ve been hugged and kissed and kicked, and taught and influenced and befriended and loved by so many of you! I would not be me, if it weren’t for you! It’s only grown truer with time. Even more love and gratitude!

Began reading The Warren Buffett Shareholder today. This is from the preface. Many contributors to this book remark upon Buffetts’s distinctive teaching style, which tends to instruct people how to think rather than what to think. And John Bogle has attended one Meeting, but attests that even one can change your world. A couple of pages later Our premise was that Berkshire’s intrinsic value owes a lot to the Meeting and the shareholder community....

Thank you notes like these only make you fall in love with the folks who do the work. And make you want to support them even more! Thank you, Dan Carlin. For all you do.

A long time ago I realized that there’s probably not a whole lot of meaningful difference between what I do and what a violin player who finds a nice location on a street corner somewhere, opens up his/her violin case and begins playing does....

from this beautiful Neil Gaiman poem, illustrated by Chris Riddell You’ve been a far better wife to me, than I a husband to you. You literally are my better half. I hope, I can keep at it though. Like the bible says … Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away....

This birthday is my first without Daddy. And so this post today, because I want these words out of my head and heart, before they overwhelm me. Dad & I have birthdays immediately following each other (the 25th & 26th.) All my birthday memories are inextricably linked with him. Him being indulgent with his firstborn. Him holding me close and sharing his cake with me as I grew. Him taking care of me and letting me crawl into his lap to say our prayers on cold mornings in our small drafty house....

The new table goes on for miles and miles :) Thank you mummy! From me and my broken back :)
