Love You, Mom

I know I haven't been posting these days. My family is here and I'm just enjoying my time with them. On Sunday was my graduation ceremony, and I couldn't be happier than sharing it with my beloved mother.

I want to share with you a greeting card she mailed to me (before she learned how to use e-mail) in my first days in the US 5 years ago. For 5 years, no body has ever stood by me like she did. Through happiness and sadness; ups and downs; or 3ala golat 7ayat el fahad "Bel masarrat wal madharrat." So mom, thanks for everything. I wish one day I could pay some of it back to you. I love you.

Ain't she cute? =)

Amazingly Cute!
يا أخي أمي تبعث لي رسائل بالإيميل، غير المكالمات، لكن أحياناً لما أوصي أحد يجيبلي شغلة من البيت، ألاقي ظرف ... والا أمي كاتبتلي رسالة.. أعتقد لدي 4 حتى الآن.. أقرب شيء لأي شخص أن تقرأ خطه وتمسك الورقة التي كتب عليها بنفسه.. أحسن من التليفون وأحسن من الإيميل.. يمكن أحسن لما تكون أمام الشخص، لأنك لو كنت أمامه، لن يعبر بالطريقة التي يعبر بها كتابة..

الله يخليك لأمك يا جنديف ويخليها لك وتشوف جناديف صغار إن شاءالله

"أقرب شيء لأي شخص أن تقرأ خطه وتمسك الورقة التي كتب عليها بنفسه"
