  • A Mother’s Role

    Feb 1st, 2026

    A mother’s role
    is part shelter, part sky.
    She is the place you land
    when the world feels sharp,
    and the one who gently opens her hands
    when it’s time for you to fly.
    She teaches without speeches—
    how to love, how to fall and rise,
    how strength can be quiet
    and still unbreakable.
    A mother worries in silence,
    cheers in the loudest rooms,
    and carries her children in her heart
    long after, they no longer need her arms.
    And when she lets go,
    it isn’t because love has grown smaller—
    it’s because it has grown brave.

  • The Lion King

    Feb 1st, 2026

    My daughter Lauren and I recently enjoyed a wonderful day in London. We attended a performance of “The Lion King” at the Lyceum Theatre; the production was truly exceptional, vibrant, and we thoroughly appreciated the music.

    Before the show, we had drinks at the Punch & Judy in Covent Garden.

    We dined at the Indian restaurant, Paro, which served a very delightful meal.

    Finally, we enjoyed drinks at the Royal Ballet and Opera House.

    Lauren and I shared this day together, and we created special memories; it was a meaningful time for mother and daughter. 🙃🙂

  • Stamford With My daughters

    Jan 20th, 2026

    I had a most pleasant afternoon with my two daughters, shopping in my hometown of Stamford. It had been quite some time since my last visit. Since the passing of Dad and Marion, I have not had many opportunities to return. As a result, we thoroughly enjoyed our walk around the town. We also shared a lovely lunch at the Cosy Club.
