another year gone by…

you wake up one morning and the realization hits you…

“children on the road dont call you uncle just because you look older…. its because you are old!”

its been a roller coaster ride so far. i have to say i am the luckiest guy on this earth to have parents who would give so much to see their kids happy. and also the luckiest that i had the sense not to choose others over them.

this year, my birthday was again celebrated in murree, in what is quickly becoming tradition. a weekend of relaxation, hiking, fresh mountain air, breath taking views and sharp chilly wind was just what the doctor ordered! and it was totally worth the nausea to get up there (i have motion sickness…)

this year was supposed to be a good one, by the grace of God, it is pretty much still! give or take one incident which pretty much changed the course of life…

still, im glad it happened… the cracked magical mirror was actually telling the future… how could we have been so naive…
