Thinking of you, dear little one.

You're always in my thoughts Ariya, I don’t have many photos of you, I have no idea what you look like now, but I know without a doubt that you have grown into a beautiful little lady, and that mummy and her family are taking the very best care of you. The photos I do have of you I cherish with all my heart. This is one of my favourites. It makes me so happy and gives me hope and the determination to keep going. For you Ariya, and for me, we are both worth it.

Arriya Star only a few days old.

I love how peaceful you look, and that your being watched over by fluffy friends, a little one should always have a hippo friend to watch over them, daddy has a hippo too, he looked after me when I was a little boy,  perhaps one day you will get to meet him and you and I shall be together again. Daddy is working really hard at the minute, I have a fantastic new job as a high-end chef and I'm getting lots of money that I'm going to put away for you, so one day you can have all the things I could not get for you when you were growing up. I'm going to try and do some more drawings for you and get you a nice photo of your daddy because I too have changed so much since we last saw each other, I'm fit as a fiddle and you deserve to see your daddy's face. be safe little one and I will post again as soon as I can.

Your Daddy
