“Something hidden. Go and find it.
Go and look behind the Ranges —
Something lost behind the Ranges.
Lost and waiting for you. Go!”
–From “The Explorer” by Rudyard Kipling
This quote was one of the first that Remi, my companion since eleven years, showed me when we first met. And I have never found a better to describe the essence of his extraordinary spirit…how he will hunt down the last of the light in order to capture it forever, how he doesn’t hesitate to barrel down the next road, no matter how rough it may be.
Remi, my love for you is as wide as the horizon…
As strong as ancient stone…
And runs as deep as a spring drawing down to the center of the earth.
We are growing older together…
…with our little family!
Here are to the wonderful adventures that lie ahead…
Happy Birthday, sweetheart.
I believe in you.






Hello Heather
This tribute is one of the most beautiful wishes I have seen. Wishing Remi a very Happy Birthday and I am sure he treasures his family.
The 3rd photo has me returning to review it.

Happy Birthday Remi! Heather, I love your sweet tribute and hope that you two have years and years of adventure together. XOXO
What a wonderful tribute to your Pepeiou, Memeiou! 🙂 As an expat, I have huge respect for adventurous people who leave friends and family and go to the other side of the world to start a new life and thrive with their families. Hats off to you, Heather! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Happiest Birthday Remi!
Love your photography
May your life be fuller and farther with good shots
Thank you everyone for your kind words so far–they are gifts not only for Remi but for me as well!
Oh my goodness – what a beautiful birthday present to Remi! The "little family" part brought tears to my eyes – Ben is such a big part of your love! Happy Happy Birthday, Remi!!!
This is a lovely tribute to true love… i do believe in eternal love, i found my soulmate 30 years ago and still miss him whenever we are apart.
That is such a sweet tribute to your love. May you both have a lovely birthday celebration together which much joy and a great year ahead.
