Irfan Was Seven

Being on call during the long Chinese New Year break as one thing, but being on call on my son's birthday was quite another. Irfan turned 7 yesterday, and although we planned to have a quite dinner together, but finding out that I was on call, my parents-in-law took the boys and Anita out for lunch.

After finding out about the plan, I devices one of my own. I finished my clinic on time, sorted out what needed to be finished in the ward and headed out into town to surprise them. I arrived at the restaurant about five minutes after they did. And was quickly spotted by Idlan.

Next came Irfan's surprise present. Can't tell you what that was ......
