It is mothers day in the middle east and although I live in Germany I still would like to honor this day and the 2 mothers in my life. It is sad I am expressing my feelings on mothers day, I think this blog post should have been out a looooooooong time ago.
To mom number one:
Sorry for not being the best son out there, and sorry for not showing my gratitude enough. You really had a hard time raising me and my brothers. Sadly I was not always the good big brother, else it would have reflected on my 2 brothers behavior. I miss you a lot and I am sorry I can not visit Egypt as often as I would like to. After dad passed away you had a hard time keeping us together but u managed and I am very proud of you. Your determination to provide us with a very good life and putting us before everything else is an inspiration. I love you and miss you…
To mom number two:
I think I should start by saying “Hi Nini”. I love you and I hope you know that… Again I might not show it but I really do… You always were there for me and got me out of every crappy situation I got into. You and Bob taught me so many things, that there is nothing I do that I can not derive from something you helped me out with. I know my appearance and lifestyle does not make you happy but I am working on it to make you proud of me. I owe you so much and I cant express how much you mean to me…
You 2 are the best mothers any1 could wish for…
P.S: My mom taught me “if and else” conditions, when I was 13 or 14 based on her pascal experience and my aunt bought me my first programing book “Visuall C++ in 21 days” which took me a year back then (I was 15). So if you like my work then it kinda derives from their help and support. So a nice commt to them would be appreciated and a nice mothers days gift.
seif… u r great i am sure ur mom and nini see that , criticism is in the blood of parents and grand parents, that is the only way we get better
p.s love the blog
I think I’m gonna cry…
I’m moved. Well good to see such sentiments voiced – a timely reminder to me…
Seifi, you have been always a very good son, your brothers too.
It is I who should thank you on Mother’s Day, because you are simply my son.
THE 3 OF YOU ARE GOD’S GIFT. God gave me his greatest blessing by letting me look into your eyes every day. You are the best thing that happened in my life. Cannot imagine my life without you.
Your presence has made me want to be a better mother. Whenever you tell me “I love you.”, I don’t care how others think or feel about me because I have you. When you tell me that I’m a good mother, all my past mistakes seem to be worthwhile if the course of them got me to you.
I might not have been the best mother. I made many mistakes, and my only wish, you forgive me my past mistakes.
I know I should not have expected perfection coz your hands were tiny and your legs were short to keep up with me.
I know you have feelings and you wish I would treat you differently.
I am sorry if I have compared you with others …. I know you are you, and not them, but I am very proud of you.
I want you to explore the world safely, you’ll never c the world as I do.
Finally let me tell you that without you I would not have changed from the woman I was to the mother I am.
I love you very much.
Gratefully Yours,
The Mother You Made Me
Seif, you’re great. Simple as that.
Your mothers did a great job. Amazing as that.
You do great, far away from home. That’s what I see.
Your friend, mentor, and colleague
I can not participate now in discussion – there is no free time. But I will return – I will necessarily write that I think on this question.
Really nice and impressive blog i found today.
Happy Mother’s Day to all.:*”
Seif, you should remember that we choose parents ourselves before our birth. You made a great choise of people who had managed to give you a lot of experience.
