‘Thump’ cuts through the longed for silence. Your soft wee body crashes to the ground, like a pile of bricks. Tired out from turning 5, you barely stir, as I collect you in my arms and kiss your warm cheeks. With a stretch and a yawn, you are gently returned, once more, to those spirits of night.

Throw me to the sky 
Oh that is so beautiful. I love, ‘tired out from turning 5’. My little grandson was 3 on Sunday and spent Monday 30th ‘tired out from turning 3’!
Happy birthday to your son!
