Happy Birthday Ilya, Bon Voyage and plenty of soft Japanese snow powder!!!
This is not my first attempt to write something to my son Ilya - every year in November this opportunity comes. It usually eventuates in a large birthday card with a lot of mumbling about the importance of the past year and even bigger importance of the year to come. Normally these cards can later be found in a car boot, in a garage or on my desk.
This year everything is different - no more cards, no more mumbling, no more car boot!
There are two reasons for this - Ilya turns 20 - leaving teen's age and is going travelling for few months.
What is the best way to give him a card which he can carry everywhere he goes, which can be as big as needed, where everyone can write something for him to take to his new journey?
Of course - it's a blog! It's our collective birthday card to you from your parents and friends, sister, cousins, their boyfriends and husbands, relatives, classmates and bosses - from everyone who wishes to say

Like snowboarding? 20 years young? Know MYOB? Come to Japan!
Thank you all - it's over!
Dear Ilya's friends!
While in my invitations to create this birthday blog-card I addressed to you as parents, sisters, cousins, boyfriends and friends, at the end of the day (literally it's a midnight November 30, which means - yes Ilya is 20!), we all are his friends! And this is why the idea of creating this postcard blog was supported by all of you! Thank you!
However, this is not the only reason why I'm writing this now. As of midnight November 30 this blog is closed for posting.
Why? It's simple - it's a birthday card! You wouldn't write on a birthday card after you handed it over, would you? Or hand it over next day after the party?
The same rules apply to the blog birthday card. The show is over!
But... there is always "but". Blog is blog even if it's a birthday card.
You still have few options.
Sincerely and truly yours
Alex - the blogmaster and Ilya's dad.

Option 1 - comments. Of course you can make comments on anyone's posting including your own.Thank you all once again
Option 2 - contact the blogmaster (myself) and we'll see what can be done.
Sincerely and truly yours
Alex - the blogmaster and Ilya's dad.
