Reflections
AT ebb time I wrote a few lines upon the shore..and gave them all my heart and all my soul..at tide time I returned to read what I had inscribed and found my ignorance upon the shore.."jubran khalil"

:: .....عام

 

في ذكرى مرور عام على رحيل بابا الحبيب

 

في القلب حزن لا ينضب و في العين دمع لا يجف

عام مضى بلمح البصر،و ما زال الواقع يختلط بالخيال...

اكان حلما أم أضغاث أحلام؟ ذلك اليوم الأليم

تلك الساعة الكئيبة التي تركت اثارها في قلوبنا الى الأبد

تلك اللحظة المفاجئة التي لم تفسح لنا المجال لنقول الوداع.

رحلت يا بابا ...و لم نزل حتى اللحظة عاجزين عن التصديق..

ما زلت يا بابا أمام ناظرينا على مدى الأيام.

نبحث في أعين بعضنا البعض عن نظرة تشبه نظرات عينيك الجميلتين

يبحث كل منا في وجوه الاخرين عن ملامح تشبه ملامحك الطيبة الحنونة،

فنجدك في المحبة العارمة التي غرستها قي قلوبنا

و في المبادىء الراسخة التي عودتنا عليها

لا نرثو غيابك عنا لأنك ما زلت حاضرا بيننا،

لكننا نشتاق الى قبلة و عناق أخيرين ،حرمنا منها جميعا.

لقد كنت يا جورج زوجا مثاليا،و كنت يا أبا يوسف أبا مثاليا،

و ابنا مثاليا، و أخا مثاليا و صديقا مثاليا.

كنت لنا الدنيا و رحلت تاركا فراغا لا يملأ و حنينا لا يطفأ

ليرحمك الله بواسع رحمته،و الى لقاء.

Salam, this was a lovely tribute. I've been praying for you today as you celebrate his legacy even as you mourn the loss of his earthly presence.

I wonder if he watches now, as he has passed the mantle of this wisdom to your generation to carry through. It is a responsibility, but God will lighten the load as you seek Him for strength to fulfill the legacy of your George.

(Alfred, thank you for the translation!)

Allah yer7amu ya Salam. He is lucky to have a daughter like you. Your words are truly touching.

On another note (sorry to change the subject) I wanted to ask you some questions about baby's sleep - how can I contact you?
Thanks..

In the memory of George Najjar
In someone’s life few things happen that will leave an ever lasting print. Days will come and go but few will remain in the memory forever. Four years ago when I was in Amman, the morning of March 20, I woke up to the sad news of President George Bush announcing his orders to the US army to invade Iraq. My stomach felt sick as I imagined the disaster of the war falling upon the people of my homeland, the region and the world. In my mind, the destruction that is taking place in Iraq resembles Humbaba the evil Satan killing the people of Gilgamesh on daily basis. Car bombs, road bombs, hunger and sickness …. I prayed to God to save Iraq, put mercy in people’s hearts and make them love their families and one another. My Father in Law told me love is the only way to guide them through this hard time and enables them to bear with this sad situation that was forced upon them. Last year, the morning of May 21 was a day that made me stop again, re-think and re-prioritise my aims and objectives. We have lost an icon of love and sacrifice. The loss of my Father in Law Mr George Yousef Najjar was a big loss not only to his Family but also to his country Jordan. We lost a man with many footprints left in all fields of charity and humanity. This is a man loved his family and gave them everything he could: time, passion, empathy, sacrifice, education, faith, love and friendship. He taught his children respect, love to their country, Compassion to the Poor, Praying for the sick ones and helping the unprivileged. The Earth cried for his departure, but the sky was very happy to receive him and keep him among its righteous ones. Lord … now you have our Dad with you so please look after him as you always did. Lord … I ask you to make us “humans” love each other as your son George loved his family and country. When loves will fill our hearts we will destroy Humbaba and free earth from the destruction which is taking place everywhere around us. Baba

Baba George.. now that you are closer to God than ever before, I ask you to pray for the people of Iraq so that the love which filled your heart will fill their hearts, give them peace, save them and free them from their misery. Dad we miss you a lot and will never forget you. You will always be in our hearts.
