My beautiful Byron,

I have picked two pictures today. For my Monday time to sit here talking to you in this way. I always enjoy starting my week with a little time to feel I am talking to you even though, you know it has been more than three years since we last were together, or even able to Skype?

This picture is me at ten. You will be ten soon.

I had just flown to Athens, to see Greece, because my father wanted me to know how Greek I was. I grew up in South Africa, and I had never been to Greece. He felt it was important that I go, to learn about my history. It was an amazing trip. I flew on my own on a Boeing 707 from Johannesburg to Athens. A long flight. I remember it so well. In those days not many people flew long distance. Flying on my own at the age of ten was a great adventure.
