Happy Birthday, H!

My Dearest H,

15 years ago, you came to this world... I can't believe the sentence, even though I just wrote it! I cherish the memory of your 13th birthday that we celebrated in Egypt at the beach house, just as much as I cherish the memory of the day you were born 15 years ago! I am so proud to be your dad... I love you so much.

I wonder if you are still fascinated by K-pop? Do you still like BTS or have you moved on to other bands? I remember how much you loved them, we had a picture of the band printed on the birthday cake, pictures of the band members decorating the room for your birthday, their music playing, it really helped that Alia loved them too thanks to you! That was such a happy memory for me... seeing you happy and in your element was the greatest reward for me as a father. That's all I want... for you to be happy.

I recorded a video for you on that day, 2 years ago like today, celebrating your 13th birthday. I find it very relevant and true to how I feel today. I'd like to take this opportunity to give that to you. It seems fitting to share it here in the hope that you will get a chance to see it someday.

I love you so very much. Happy Birthday, superstar <3

Love,

Dad
