My dearest Navine,

I would have never known the goodness of your soul if I hadn’t found the courage to believe in myself back when no one else could. I picked up a camera like Harry Potter with a wand and I decided that I could create a magical life. You are a part of my magical life. How can I ever thank you in a way that is enough? I will tell you something about the gift of choice: there are a lot of photographers to choose from. Your parents had other choices before knowing me and they had them again after. They could have gone anywhere and yet, here you are again. Smiling for me with love at your birthday party.
