Fifty Years Old.

My Mum turned 50 today. I'm not there to celebrate it with her. Originally I was hoping to be there, but plans changed. Now I regret not being there. As a young boy I used to think 50 years of age was old and over the hill. Now I'm not so far away myself, my perception has changed and I see it as quite an achievement. The rest of my family are with her and of that I am jealous. Unfortunately while my new work permit is being processed I'm not allowed to leave the Shengen countries. I made her a video to let her know how I feel. Happy Birthday Mum!
