Another Reason I Haven't Written...

...we've been preparing for this, to celebrate our son's fourth full year of life.

"Pan, who and what art thou?" he [Hook] cried huskily.
"I'm youth, I'm joy," Peter answered at a venture, "I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg."

"When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies."

"Second to the right, and straight on till morning."
That, Peter had told Wendy, was the way to the Neverland

"On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles. We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more."

"You know that place between sleeping and awake, that place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always think of you."

So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land.

I'll teach you to jump on the wind's back, and away we go.

"Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it."
