A bit on TRUST.

Trust is a minefield, especially in the contest of other people. No matter how you try to tip-toe through, the chances of getting across is very slim.

In order to make survival a certainty,(and limp away only being hurt, cause you will be hurt) you don't trust that someone is going to betray you, instead you just trust that you'll be able handle it when they do, and that you'll be able to walk away!

That's a massive key to it, stop worrying about if you can trust people, maybe you CAN'T, only time will tell! That is a pointless waste of your energy and mental fortitude to worry about.

My baby brother is 30! 😳

For the sake of your card, I have to keep this short, and let me tell you, that's a challenge.

As an elder brother you are gifted the responsibility and blessing to oversee the health and well being of your younger sibling, and man do I have the best one!

Ivan it's still unreal to me that your even an adult, let along hitting 30! As unreal as it seem, God have to killed adulthood.

The Man you have become, The father you are, The brother you have always been, has been nothing short of perfect. The courage, your drive, your bravado that you lead your life with makes everyone who has the blessing to know you, very lucky. However, not as lucky as me who gets to call you my brother.

Happy birthday! I love you, thanks for being unapologetically exactly who you are, can't wait to see what the future holds for you and your family. Keep making us proud!
