like today, it is my 38 birthday today, and russel and me were supposed to celebrate this, of course with our little sunshine colin.
but it was more of a sad day as a celebration day.
the vulcano in iceland is blocking now since thursday last week, the whole airspace over europe.
as soon as it started we were concerned, that the flight from russels mum (she should arrive on the 20th of april) will be in trouble and maybe cancled.
yesterday as we followed the news, we could see already that mama bear will not make it to switzerland.
but when owen (russels sister) told us today that the flight is canceled, it really got to me.
it was a strange feeling, you knew it already, or at least you could figure it out on your own, but it still hits you when you get the confirmation.
it really was clear to me, after the confirmation, that my biggest birthday gift would have been that mama bear would be able to fly, to see colin.
since i am together with russel, my view on family has changed.
family means everything, my onw, my parents as well as russels family. we are one now, even if we are miles away from eachother.
i hope that mama bear can fly soon, even if i will be in qatar for a period of her visit, but i know how much it means for russel that her mum is there, and also how much it means for mama bear to see colin :)
