Dec 31 2023

Taking to social media, Opposition leader Bernard Grech celebrated his son Neil Grech’s 25th birthday.

Writing in verse, he recounted how 25 years ago, he held him close for the first time and promised to be there for him, teach him, love him and support him.

‘However’, said the Nationalist Party leader, ‘you taught me to love more, to be more responsible, to plan more, to be more emphatic, to hear more and to understand more.’

‘I still admire you 25 years later. I am still proud of you and I celebrate being together. I still feel lucky to have gotten to know you.’

‘When I see you sad, I feel my chest stiffen. When I see you smile, I leap with joy. Every hug is a gift, even if it is from afar. Keep loving and thank you for being yourself, Neil’, he concluded.

Maria La Barokka’s End Of Year Message

Dec 31 2023

Maria La Barokka Muscat, a TVM News presenter and broadcaster, took to social media to share her last few thoughts for the year 2023.

‘If you don’t feel love for others in your heart and spent the year doing harm, I’d rather not hear a ‘happy new year’ from you, because falsity was never my friend.’

Maria explained that one day of the year means nothing if an entire year is spent doing harm to others.

‘Honesty is beautiful. If you don’t have these sentiments in your heart, don’t send your wishes to anyone.’

‘I know this is a difficult post on my part, but it is truthful till the very end – and I believe that there are many who feel like me.’

What do you think of her message?
