Congratulations Mathias!

w00t! 🎉

My boy has just completed his second bachelor’s degree! After a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts, he has now graduated in physiotherapy — and has already been offered his first job.

Mathias is the most sensitive, generous, humane and open-minded young man I know of, with a remarkable ability to read people and the room — okay, I might be a little biased, but I’m convinced these qualities and his multiple talents will be every bit as valuable in his profession as everything he has learned.

What a journey. Proud dad moment. ❤️
