Lebanon in a Picture

عيد ام سعيدA happy Mother's Day to all mothers and mother figures ❤️ I am... (Western Sydney) عيد ام سعيد A happy Mother's Day to all mothers and mother figures ❤️ I am so lucky to be surrounded by the most loving of women. Two daughters, nieces, sister in laws, cousins, aunties and friends bless me each day. Cliches of Arabic woman we see on the news who are weak are far from what I experienced growing up in Lebanon for it is the females of our families who carry us all. Oummi worked 22hour shifts in a row at the Sefton bakery when we first came to Sydney, I remember her smiling through her exhaustion, proud to be setting a future up for our family here in Australia as we started from nothing again. This image of ahwe and baklava is from my morning #soubhieh #صبحية set up by my daughters before my first blood transfusion today, a gift of health I received on Mother's Day by the doctors at Westmead to heal me on this journey. I want to thank you all for your beautiful and inspiring words as I share parts of my journey here. I couldn't be more grateful for the loving community I have found on Instagram and my wish for you all is that your lives are filled with as much and even more joy, love and inspiration as you bless me with. Thank you ❤️
