Two days after Faramir had come to see Boromir, we had Ria's birthday celebration.
Colan 'helped' her blow out her candle and everyone cheered. Wendy, who had had to go to Dr. Elliot everyday for a checkup and a shot of antibiotics, opened Ria's presents for her. She mostly go soft toys and a few clothes, but one present, wrapped in blue paper and tied with silver string was left until last. Wendy opened the card that was tucked under the string and handed it to me. I took it, meaning to read it out loud. But, as I scanned the message, I felt my throat seize up.
My dearest darling Niece,
Today is your first birthday. You are growing quite rapidly.
When I first saw you in your mothers arms, in my bedroom,
I thought you were the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
I love you very much Ria.
Love always,
Uncle Mark.
PS: This present is also for your mother, I hope you both like it.
I lifted up wide, half-scared eyes and met Emma's. She looked at me, confused and read the card. Soon, she looked up in amazement.
"So you were telling the truth." She whispered. I guess she could tell it wasn't my handwriting. I nodded and began to open the gift carefully. Inside was a box, carved with intricate little pictures of rainbows, birds and trees. I gasped and opened it up. It was filled with photos. Old photos of Stacey, Tracey, Samantha, Jake, Julia, Mark and me.
That night, we decided, even though it was not a Saturday, to have a movie, in honour of Ria turning one.
For the little kids, we put on 102 Dalmatians. After that was finished Frodo put on the movie he had chosen, which was The Matrix. I think Boromir and Frodo were getting jealous because Emma and I were staring at Keanu Reeves the whole time.
"Keanu is so cute," I told Emma in a whisper. Frodo tapped me on the shoulder.
"Yeah, but is he as good a kisser a me?" and with that, he started playing tonsil hockey with me. Sweet.
Boromir took the queue and began to pash Emma, and all I could think about was how we were the two luckiest girls in the world.
