Today, 11 years ago, Nicole and mine’s daughter Rhiannon came into the world. From the very beginning we called her our special girl and have adored her. I think that as a parent I grieve the passing of each stage of her life as much as I rejoice the new stage. Therefore I miss the baby I held in my arms all those years ago, I miss the toddler with the ever quick grin, I miss the mischievous little girl and her pranks, and so on.

    1. Thanks for commenting. I made a few minor changes like stretching it but really want to start on a new ship altogether. I really learnt so much about Blender – believe it or not. I guess mistakes help us to learn 🙂 Thanks for being my muse in this 🙂


  3. If I had the ‘space’ I could saw a lot more than ‘happy birthday’ and best of luck with Dad’ project.
