Naseeb’s 30th Birthday

Most people reading this will probably have noticed the recurring theme of daffodils in the posts on this blog. To recap: when Naseeb was little and someone asked when his birthday was, the usual answer would have been an approximation of the month and day. Instead, Naseeb would simply say “It’s when the daffodils come out”. It was a sense of this part of the year in relation to the seasons and nature which he somehow connected with, and so daffodils have been a regular feature in our lives around his birthday.

Daffodils for Naseeb's 30th Birthday

This year is special (but really every year is), he would have been 30 years old today. As parents we dearly hold our love for Naseeb every day expressed in all kinds of ways – including daffodils.

Today we managed to go for a walk near Castleton, and put together a simple arrangement of three home-made cakes, which we got from Longford Park cafe, with a candle on each – one for each decade. From our hearts we wished him happiness, freedom of spirit, love and warmth.

It’s been some time since we last posted here, there are a combination of reasons as those who connect with us regularly will know. We appreciate everyone who remembers Naseeb and the support from our friends, with love and good wishes.
