Happy Birthday


My dear son is turning 23 today

Happy Birthday Tristan


There were times when I thought you would never make it.
Life was tough and it was like climbing Mt Everest.
We did make it, you and I
We had many
tears . . . laughter . . .  anger . . .  joy

And I am so proud of you.

  2. Happy birthday to your son Jo!
    They are beautiful photos of him growing up.
    How time flies - my youngest is also 23 now :-)
    What a fun young man to want a monster birthday cake! He must be sentimental too..

  4. Trish - for some reason he really remembers the monster cake I made for him and said he would love another one. I thought I was past making novelty cakes for children so I had to do some Googling to get some ideas - I am going to add green food colouring the whipped cream!! It won’t be any sort of scary monster, something nice and friendly!!
