PRINCE ISSA Takes Europe for 11th Birthday
Issa has dreamed of visiting Italy since learning about Venice from watching an episode of Garfield. I learned of his interest in the Eiffel Tower this year after a school project he shared with me. I managed to squeeze a surprise in a surprise. He found out he was going to Venice during a quick layover in Turkey. He found out about Paris several days after the trip started. He cried tears of joy when we arrived in Paris and that made my soul sing. I’ve never seen those type of tears from him before, “Mom I have dreamed about this my whole life, I just can’t believe it. All of this just for me? I feel so special.”
Please enjoy this birthday video recapping the trip.
An April 2023 Volume 2 Newsletter will be released with all the specifics, where we stayed, what we ate, tips and tricks etc.
