Local singer Ludwig Galea and his wife Sarah are celebrating a special milestone: their daughter Kristina has turned nine! The proud parents marked the occasion with a series of sweet family photos and a heartfelt message that captures the joys (and emotions!) of watching a child grow up.
‘Happy 9th Birthday, Kristina! I just can’t believe how much you’ve grown already,’ Ludwig wrote. He shared how, as Kristina slowly moves past toys and Barbies and begins discovering new, more ‘grown-up’ interests, he and Sarah feel both excited for her and nostalgic for the little girl she’s quickly leaving behind.
‘Sometimes we wish time would slow down a bit,’ he admitted. ‘A tiny part of us wants to press pause and keep you our little Poppy a little longer.’
But one thing that will never change is how proud they are of her. ‘No matter how tall you get or how many new interests you discover, you’ll always be our brave, funny, and colourful daughter. We will ALWAYS be here cheering you on every step of the way, with hugs, ‘FITTU’ kisses, and whatever you need to feel loved.’
Ludwig ended the message with a touching birthday wish: ‘Happy Birthday, my love! Love you to the moon and back.’
Wishing Kristina the happiest of birthdays!
