“The Family Tree”
Craig Watkins (United States)
2011 have been a really hard year for me and my family. Yes, it brought us a new member to the family, my beautiful niece Paulina; but it also took two members of our family away, my 10th months nephew André and our dog Nicky that was part of my life for 11 years. Sometimes, all this makes me feel so weak, like I can’t fight against hard moments anymore. Every day I’m losing a little more of my strength, but I can’t do anything else than hope for the future, hope for not better, because those little angels where the best, but for other good things, that can help me to become strong again. All I want for 2012 is happiness for my family, cause we all have suffered so much this year, and it is ending really sad for all of us. Please pray for us, ‘cause we need strength from everywhere and for everyone to keep smiling after all the hard things, and we also need a reminder that life is hard, but that it can still give us happy moments.
Life-Altering Picnic Table of the Day: Bring the outdoors inside with The picNYC Table from Haiko Cornelissen Architecten.
“Suddenly, spilling water becomes a necessity instead of a problem and wine glasses need coasters not to prevent ring stains but to avoid tumbling,” say the table’s designers.
The vegetation is very much alive, meaning the table requires constant care, but the reward is invaluable: All the picnic with none of the f*cking ants.
