Last Saturday, we went out for a dinner in the city to celebrate our daughter’s 7th birthday in heaven and my husband’s permanent residence approval.

We went on a buffet restaurant (guilty pleasure) and decided to maybe just go for a bubble tea and then go home as we didn’t want to stay out so late in the evening. While having dinner though, we changed our mind and decided maybe we can just drop by Tivoli since we are already in the area anyway. Since Bjorn was the one who wants the bubble tea, we asked him if he would rather go to Tivoli instead. He happily agreed to Tivoli so we pushed through.

We got to Tivoli around quarter past 19 in the evening. We saw that there will be a show in the Peacock Pavilion ( as I call it) so we decided we will watch it at 20:00. We went to the Rasmus Klump playground so Bjorn can play. On our way there we heard some bands playing in the open area. It was just a sound test but they were playing Boyzone so I decided we will go there as well. The show is not until 21:00 so perfect timing.

19:45 we decided we will head back to the Peacock Pavilion to watch the show. My husband said it is a clown show so I know Bjorn will love it. Apparently is was a ballet performance. Major facepalm moment as Bjorn is just 3 and at his age of course he doesn’t appreciate ballet performances yet. I love it but my boys got bored. After the show, we said we just go home because they both got bored.

We decided to leave through the gate that was right in front of the central station. We walked pst the open area again and I saw that they are playing Kahoot. I read some of the questions and immediately wondered why they would ask about Ronan Keating! Have I told you how much I love him? Like I mean Major L-O-VE?! I grew up listening to his songs! Then it dawned on me- he will play that same evening! The guys who smize even before SMIZE was a thing!!!

Needless to say, we stayed and enjoyed the night with the ultimate crush of my 10 years old self. I have never been so happy that we are a spontaneous family. I have never been more impressed with serendipity.

He is an amazing performer. The voice is as good as I can remember. I might have shed a tear when he sang “When you say nothing at all” and “Everyday I love You”.

My heart is grateful. Another item ticked on my bucketlist.
