A mother's story of a charming, wonderful little girl, who becomes ill...

Thaïs est une petite fille ravissante et malicieuse. Le jour de ses deux ans, ses parents apprennent qu'elle est atteinte d'un mal incurable. Malgré la maladie, malgré la souffrance, elle va donner à son entourage une incroyable leçon de courage, de générosité et d'espoir. Sa mère partage avec nous sa bouleversante histoire.

Christmas day, beach play

christmas day, southern hemisphere style!
a perfect day,
and a beach farewell
just a few days before our move :)







farewell this island
for now

the beach

because sometimes you've just got to get away
escape, enjoy nature
be a kid, with a sense of wonder, and play





a child's world is fresh and new and beautiful,
full of wonder and excitement
~ Rachel Carson,

"'Come to the edge,' He said.
They said, 'We are afraid.'
'Come to the edge,' He said.
They came.
He pushed them...and they flew."

~ Guillaume Apollinaire

Though no fear for our little boy here!
