“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together. For the pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”

– Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet –

Pham Family

February 28, 2017

From flatmates we became bestfriends. From bestfriends we became family. That’s what Quinn and Bao to us.

Although now distance separates us physically, we somehow become closer and our friendship amazingly growing stronger. The fact that we live in two different countries makes every time we meet again become that much more meaningful.

Especially in August last year, when we finally got to meet their little boy, Minh Dan. We couldn’t contain our excitement to meet him in person. He just turned one that time. He looked so cute with his tiny body and his serious-looking face.

It was a rare sunny day in winter, Bao had a day off so they decided to have a nice day out with Dan. We did a casual session at home before we went out for brunch at one of their favorite cafes in Brighton. After that we naturally paid a visit to Brighton beach to show Dan the colorful beach houses.

It’s amazing to witness their blissful life, in their beautiful home, with an adorable boy who melts our hearts. And there’s no better way than to freeze all of those wonderful things into a set of photographs so one day they all can look back and see how much they have grown as a family.

Soul Mates

Sentences completed;
two minds, a simple thought.
Tender hands to ease the pain,
the other’s toil has brought.
Laughter, tears, and silence,
shared by the loving two.
Precious time together made,
once all their work is through.
Differences between them,
loom large to those outside.
Common are the hidden bonds,
of honor, hope and pride.
Their love is in the open,
for all the world to see.
For God has blessed this couple’s love,
for all eternity.
