On November 5, 2023, at 6:08 pm, at the approximate hour of his birth in 1994,
this picture was created – carried by memories, emotions and a deep inner dialog.
It is a birthday greeting to my son, spoken in color and form.
An expression of my love, my remorse, my amazement at the wonderful person he has become -
a quiet, giving, compassionate man, father of my wonderful grandson Noah,
partner of a great woman, Norina.

Amidst the lines and colors lives my past – my inadequacy as a mother,
my wish to have been there for him differently back then.
But time cannot be turned back.
What remains is love.
Deep, repentant, unshakeable love.

David – the name means “the beloved of the Lord”.
And that’s how I feel about him.
Loved, blessed, preserved.
