For Roi's 23rd birthday card I showed him on his travels, with his grey rucksack on his back. Like many Israeli kids post-military service, he had been off exploring the world. This year he has started studying and has moved to the cool city of Jaffa. Mum sent me a funny photo taken on the day he moved out. Ro'i was laden down with bags, ready to fill his parents car with all his stuff! She wanted to make sure I included his hat, which she felt symbolized his new beginnings at drama school, and the bags and skateboard, to show that he was on the move. A big number 24 marks his age.
As you can see from the photos she sent me, mum told me that Ro'i absolutely loved the card!

I love that photo of him holding the card, it shows just how much your hard work is truly appreciated.
Those photos do tell a good story of life and his journey forward! Very nice, as they all are, the attention to detail you include is amazing.
What a great way to record a special time.
What an exciting time for Roi and it looks like he really loved the card. How wonderful to see. x
His enjoyment of his birthday card is evident on his smiling face. #MMBC
Aw, I love that expression on his face when he opened his card. That is priceless.
Your cards are true treasures!
Wonderful moment because of your card. 🙂
24:) Post army life, studies and love are taking off! Be healthy, Ro'i.
Good luck at drama school, Roi! The card is amazing and was obviously loved. A bittersweet moment for parents, beautifully captured. xx
That expression says it all—pure joy! Such a wonderful moment to capture, and you can tell the card meant so much to him. Absolutely priceless!
What a handsome son you have and his smile would light up a room! Happy birthday to him!
Thanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2025/05/one-of-my-favorite-shots.html
Thank you. He is certainly very handsome but he's not my son ;-)
Best of luck to Roi on his new adventures. It's lovely to see the person behind the card's inspiration. The skateboard is so realistic, such a fantastic card.
I am glad to see that with all the turmoil over there that Israeli kids can still pursue their passions. Enjoy your week, stay safe, and thankyou for visiting my blog this week.
I love how happy people are when they receive one of your cards. Roi looks over the moon! :)
