sana helwa ya gameel

or in english, happy birthday!

to my special two cousins, jase and shirls, have the happiest of happy birthdays. looking at how much you two have done, i can't believe you're so young. wow, so so young. so very young. still youth even.

and for you my only twin cousins (more like my older brother and sister, but lets not get too sentimental), here's a special gift - remember a couple days ago (on the way home from the airport) when you both insisted on pulling over to help that mother and her child whose car had broken down in the middle of the freeway.. well. while i was hallucinating from exhaustion in the backseat of the car, i turned around and realised that your generous offer of kindness to a stranger had sent vibes of rapture into the universe, and had made the sky break out in songs of joy and happiness. and this is what the sky sang:

it made me realise that your lovely presences make such a meaningful contribution not only to the universe, but to my life. thank you for being youse you guys.

love you both so very much,
