Welcoming little mayflower Astrid, born 4 may 2026.
My sister Nelleke Cornelia and Olivier Van Remoorter gave me the honour to draw the birth announcement of their baby. At that time to me a still unknown gender and nameless life to be.
She expected her newborn in May.
Since our late father loved Hawthorn ( also known as Maythorn/meidoorn in dutch) creating something with that tree felt like a meant to be choice for her.
The thorny bushes and trees reminded my dad of his childhood growing up on the countryside.
Where in spring, during the month May, the air was filled with the fragant smell of the blossoming mayflowers.
It is a nice way to remember our dad since he's still missed dearly during the joyful welcoming of a new life to our clan.
Welkom in dit leven Astrid 🌸
