I am happy
because today I discovered
I have flowers
under my newly bought boots.

And because
I had lovely Sunna
over for tea.
Because she said
I was welcome to her place
close to the ocean in Turkey
if I wanted.
They grow tomatoes
and vegtables in her garden there.

I am happy now because
today I have been painting
a little portrait of my son.
It is laying in the freezer
that it won´t dry
until next time I´ll paint on it.

This picture shows
me years ago
holding a portrait of little Albin.
His parents commissioned it
and gave it to his grandmother.

I'm happy knowing that you're happy now!!
An invitation to Turkey is wonderful!
I've only been there with my finger on the map up to now.
And my finger on the map also likes moving to Stockholm...:)

How sweet isn´t your Noak standing there at the portrait. Jag har släkt i Turkiet....kan rekommenderas att besöka. Mycket gammal kultur och sooool och värme.
