Thank you all for your kind words, Miss Meow, it was a beautiful day in Aotearoa too, lovely sunshine, started off real coolish, but splendid, mum and I went out to lunch and spent some time together, she gave me a hug and told me how good I am too her, so that really touched my heart, I cannot endow her with large expensive gifts, but I try in other ways if I can.

I let her know how glad I was that she was still here to celebrate her special day, as it was indeed a close call earlier this year.

I am just so blessed to still have both my parents with me, and I hope to for many years yet.
