I'll forget!

Mama...
- I remember the hard time I used to give you while teaching me long mathematical equations.
- I remember the day u discovered that it was me who cut her hair behind your back and hid it behind the chair in your bedroom.
- I remember the day my Arabic teacher came to visit us and to give you back the golden pin I gave her behind your back for the teacher's day.
- I remember the day I took the big glass vase to school, to decorate my class room, also behind your back, and the girls broke it.
- I remember how my friends always told me that I'm lucky to have you as my mom, and how they used to ask me: would you please ask your mom about this or that?!
- I remember how hard it was for you to get me the money I needed to pay for my cooking classes.
- I remember the day you gave birth to Ward and how proud you were of having me beside you later on.
-I remember how it used to embarrass me when you used to hold my arm while walking and shopping in Amman, now I just wish I can hold you tight and never let go.
- I remember the day I told you about Jeeej for the first time and how happy you were for me and how confident you were about baba's reaction.
- I remember the fights we had before my wedding, to realize later on that they were all because you were denying the fact that I'll be leaving home soon.
- I remember all the advices, nice words and encouragement you gave me the night before wedding, sleeping between you and baba.

I remember all that,,,
But today, I'll try my best to forget that Tuesday the 30th of Jan., You celebrated your birthday, while I'm away from you, for the very first time in my whole life!


Baba...
- I remember the hard time me and my sisters used to give you while you're trying to make us eat, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- I remember Ashraq!
- I remember the long hours you spent with us every single day, summer time, after work, when we were little, no matter how exhausted you were taking us swimming.
- I remember how calm you were and how you made me calm down, at the street, after I hit the police man on his motor cycle.
- I remember how you used to accompany me to the dentist's when mama wasn't free to do so.
- I remember how you took me and Nour on a flight trip with one of your students -Amman, Dead sea, Amman-, as a surprise.
- I remember what you have exactly told me the day I told you: I'll cover my hair.
- I remember how proud you were of me when I got the "makromeh".
- I remember the days in Kuala Lumpur, Genting Highlands and Putra with you.
- I remember the day of katb al kitab, how you made sure I was "sure"about my decision, and your last words to Jihad before the wedding night.

I remember all that,,,
But today, I'll try my best to forget that today, the 1st of Feb., you're celebrating your birthday back home while I'm the one being away for the very first time in my whole life!

Baba & Mama,,,
I hug you, I love you and I miss you so much...

Your daughter
