As I was leaving to go away on Wednesday, I nearly drove past my wife and little girl. She is a little girl now. Not a baby, not a toddler, a little girl. She runs like mario, she climbs, she falls, sometimes she cries, sometimes she laughs… sometimes she even tells herself off for it… or says sorry daddy….. bless. Well, I peeped the horn and pulled in to give them both a kiss before I ran off for my big adventure.

Nora was in her pram. She cried… “daddy no go. Daddy no car, daddy jalan jalan”.

She wanted me to walk back with her, rather than drive off. Tear jerker. Especially as I was leaving to throw myself out of a plane. (my baby.x)
