Happy Birthday Chris: This is a special one with all the Family. Trust me, the issue with Naomi will come back and bite her in the butt. I don't understand how she can deny their Father the right to spend time with his boys. She will live to regret this, believe me as they will turn against her when the realize the situation.
I hate it when a parent uses the children in their battles.
Thanks so much and I hear you Jerri. It's been a constant battle, but I have my faith to carry me through and good things come to those who wait, right? Love Chris
Happy Birthday Chris. Have a lovely time with your family. I am sure everyone is going to be so happy. Hugs
Chris what a wonderful and memorable way to spend your birthday. I hope you all have a happy and blessed day with many more just like it in the future.
Hi Lynne, yes, it was one I'll not forget. To see all the cousins together was worth the wait. Love Chris
Happy Birthday. I hope you have a wonderful day with lots of noise and kids all so happy and excited to see each other again.
Thanks so much Barbara. I just wish my sister (Jewls from Tumby Bay) could be here too. Hopefully now that the South Australian border has been opened she can come up here before the end of the year. We were meant to be coming to Adelaide in May this year, but as you know Coronavirus got in the way! Love Chris
Oh, wow, a wonderful houseful - enjoy your special day. Can't wait to hear all about your Birthday and family celebration!! Enjoy, Happy Birthday, Laura
Thanks Laura, I will definitely be taking piccies today as I'm sure Ben will be too. Love Chris
Sounds like it will be a wonderful birthday! Family is so important. There were 11 of us last night at my daughter's for a grandson's 20th birthday. Hadn't seen some of the folks since before New Year's Day.
Love your handprint pictures - I assume of the grandchildren? cute!
Thanks so much and happy birthday to your grandson. How wonderful to have one 20. Our eldest is only 14! Yes, you are right they were done years ago. The last one of Cohen top right, is just a blur cause he was a baby and Ben was trying to get him to open his hand and he couldn't get it done! It's a real talking point when the kids see it. Love Chris
Wishing you a wonderful day with your family. Enjoy. Hugs Sarah
Sounds like the best Birthday and best gift of all "family". Enjoy every minute having everybody together. Happy Birthday!!!!
Hi Angie, yes, it's the best birthday present I could ever have asked for. Love Chris
Oh how sweet! My eyes are watering. I know this is worth more than any material present. When our families are broken or hurting, we feel the pain. I’m so glad things are improving and you will all be together again. Happy Birthday my friend! May you be blessed with good health and happiness with your family’s presence.
Hi Toogie, that's exactly how I feel. Family is my life! And it's been killing me not being able to do something about it to ease Ben's pain. I've been praying so much for this to happen, it's just so wonderful to finally see it happening. Can't wait! God is good!!!!! Love Chris
A very happy birthday to you and what a wonderful joyous day it will be. I'm so glad you will now be able to see your grandsons regularly and they will know just how loved they are by their entire family.
Oh! Karen, how beautiful. Yes, you are right. We at least have had the privilege of being able to see the boys, whereas little Delphi doesn't even remember Cohen, they are a year apart in age. Cohen will be 6 in February next year and Delphi is 7 next Saturday 17th October. So many precious years lost! Love Chris
Such wonderful news, Chris....Best Birthday gift ever!
Hi Kim, exactly, couldn't have wished for anything better. Trevor came in with my birthday card and another longer shaped one - $250.00AUD gift voucher to Thorpe's my favourite fabric/sewing machine shop!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!! Love Chris
Happy birthday sweet Chris! I think from your tone that you have already received the desire of your heart for your birthday! Love, Jerrilyn
Hi Jerrilyn, you've got it down pat! I am so happy to finally have answered prayer. They say good things come to those who wait. I've been praying for this for years, all in God's time eh? Thanks for your friendship, love Chris
I think and hope this will be your best birthday ever! Hugs, Martine
Hi Martine, that's exactly what I am feeling. I can't wait till 3.00pm. Amy has made me the most beautiful 4 tiered sponge cake (cake pans were too big, so she decided to put less batter in them and so made 4 layers) It's just gone 7.15am Saturday morning as I write this and I got my first phone call at 6.30am from Ben and Mia, they are beyond excited about today. Love Chris
Happy Birthday to you. Have a wonderful visit. We all now have experienced some distance from our grands so have a little idea of your pain. Hugs all around. Nan
Thanks Nan, yes, it's been a rough year what with all that has been going on in the world. Love Chris
First, Happy birthday to you! Sounds like it will be a joyful day! Sorry for the past months and years of not being able to see your family. Sending prayers!
Thanks Suzanna, yes, it's been rough, and I know there are others on here who have gone through similar events. Can't wait for the day to begin. Love Chris
Wonderful news, hope you all have a great visit. Have a very Happy Birthday.
hope you will have a wonderful time together, enjoy every minute. Have a wonderful party and precious celebration. Love, Gerry
Chris great to hear your news. Birthday Greetings for your birthday. My late mother would have been 99.
Enjoy having all your family together and I know great fun will be had by all
Hi Caroline, yes, it's going to be a memorable day, can't wait for it to happen. It's going to be 24C so perfect weather! Love Chris
