Gala’s birthday was today. As her mum was out of town with her new husband, we decided to host it here at my house. Mum, Dad and the girls were more than happy to see her grow up alongside me… she’s already like family to them. I just hope one day I can get up the guts to make it official.

Gala’s braver than me (so much braver!) but she’s so beautiful… and now that she’s a young adult, I think she’s even more beautiful than before. I can’t believe my luck sometimes…
