Happy Birthday Robert

If ever there were a bank of babies waiting to be deployed from above by way of the stork exactly thirty years ago today, we were lucky enough to receive the best of the bunch when Robert turned up on our front door step.

Today, 7th July, marks another birthday milestone in the life of our eldest son Robert, who was born to us at a time when we were only spring chickens ourselves.

With his thirtieth birthday, Robert remains steadfastly free-spirited and as laid back as anyone could ever hope to be. Our firstborn has surmounted a number of heart breaking obstacles that have been laid in his path with dogged determination and has come through with only love in his heart for the ones he holds dear, especially his mother!

Although his work life balance swings to one side because of his solitary nomadic work commitments that take him all over Australia, he still finds the time to party hard with just about anyone that comes his way and who can blame him.

An entertaining and thought provoking conversationalist with a passion for restoring his 1979 ZH Ford Fairlane P6 LTD and 1981 WB Holden Kingswood Ute and armed with a big heart, gift of the gab, laid back approach and quick wit, he wins  many over, including those that we may find awkward to approach, with his unique, God love him, sense of humour.

When all is said and done, Robert is an inspiration to us all and a good man with a big appetite for all things that light up his life, including what’s put in front of him on the dinner plate.

Robert, we love you dearly and we wish you a very happy 30th birthday. May happiness follow you to the end of time!

Your loving parents,
Mum and Dad
