Simple Birthday Celebrations
We developed a special family custom around birthdays. Just the two of us and a handmade cake, no elaborate celebrations. Jonas would lead the ‘Happy Birthday’ song while Eva lit the candles. In our small rituals, we would toast one another by clinking soda bottles. I would declare, “Here’s to us,” feeling bonded by something so exquisitely basic. These festivities served as a reminder that joy was not found in pricey presents but rather in shared experiences, which united us no matter how life pulled us apart.

Finding Joy In Simplicity
Life had taught us that the small things, like playing catch in the backyard or giggling over dumb jokes at the dinner table, could bring us happiness. Evenings were valuable; I would read books before bed as yawns and giggles blended. Tell us more! James would beg, his eyelids being pulled by sleep. All of this led us to the realization that what matters most in life are the touching moments that leave their mark on your spirit and make it worthwhile.
