Happy Norooz

Dear Atria,
Another year is ending and for many of us it is time to reflect on the past year and set up goals for the new one. 
Be always proud of your achievements and appreciate your efforts even if they didn’t lead to your desirable results - a failure from which you learn is an experience. The most important thing is to never give up and try until you succeed, never  give up and stand up after a fall.
I wish you all the happiness in the world, lots of strength and determination allowing you to follow your dreams. I wish kind and friendly people to be around you to love and support you.
P.S. The other elements of success are patience and believe. I am patiently waiting to be part of your life again.
Your Father Farshid

I sent you the above message also on the two cards I posted one to the contact address in Canada provided by your Mum to allow me to send you cards few times a year. I posted the other card to your Mum’s friend in Oxford, who have been kindly passing on to you my cards and presents in the past. 

You can see both cards in the pictures here. One of them (the beautiful handmade card posted directly to you to Canada) carries the additional message, which I really like and which made me to choose this particular card for you. I hope you will like it...

"Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savour each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate joy of everyday. The hummingbird’s delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life’s sweetest creation".
