About 30 years ago or so, my dear mother bought an olive grove in Bsarma, North Lebanon. There were 99 fully grown olive trees on the land, as well as almond trees, pear trees and grape vines. The olive trees were very generous one season and not so the next. My grandfather used to say that the trees rested one year and produced great crop the next. When we were young my brothers and I spent a few years in our beautiful homeland and we got to experience the different seasons and join in the harvesting of the olives. These beautiful days will always be with me wherever I may be.
Soon after my mother bought the olive grove she summoned my brothers and I and firmly told us that she was going to register that land in her children’s names and that she wanted us to reap its crop whilst she still lived to see it. My older brother got 33 olive trees, my younger brother got 33 olive trees and I got 33 olive trees. I still remember how pleased she was with herself when she announced that everything went through and the land was transferred to her children’s names.
Rest In Peace dear beautiful soul. We miss you dearly, always. ❤️❤️
Thank you to @mavievdesigns for the beautiful olives straight from your olive tree. 😘
