Hi to all the Cuties who know me. I just had to share this occasion with you.

Tomorrow is my birthday and for the first time in many, many years all my family are going to be together. My son Ben has been trying for more access to his 3 boys. He separated from his ex wife Naomi in February 2019 and Ben came back home to live with us. He (and the rest of the family) wasn’t allowed to see his boys for 200 days due to a court ruling. Around May this year we got to see the boys every Sunday. I won’t go into all the details but last week after the third round of mediation he finally has been allowed to have more access. He can have overnight weekend access every fortnight and 3 hours on a Wednesday arvo. My Mother couldn’t understand why she wasn’t allowed to see them. I had to explain it was a ruling of the court due to Naomi’s wishes.
So last Sunday Mum actually saw them for the first time in nearly 2 years. Little Cohen was only 4 (when she last saw him) and was a bit timid but by the end of the day was his exuberant self.
Come tomorrow we are all going to see the boys. My daughter Dana and her 3 kids Ryke, Jasana and Aqualina and younger daughter Amy, Steve, Ophelie and Delphi will be there along with Ben’s new partner Mia and her 4 children. Ben’s boys don’t know we are all coming, so to see their cousins after all this time will be very emotional. I can’t wait.
This will be my best birthday ever. I just am so happy that we can all be together. Please say a prayer for us all. Love Chris
