Thanks Ammar. I believe "compassion" is the word to describe it. God plants compassion in our hearts so that we feel the need to help those less fortunate than us. I just hope people become aware of the need for their help.

Tinkerbella: you're right, they give and give and do all they can to bring us up the best they can and what do we give them in return? Very little when you compare them. My sisters in law always tell me, when you have children u'll appreciate ur mother and love her much much more. And it's true! I believe them. We all take our parents for granted until we experience and go through the things they did. But to leave them in an elderly home all by them self wallah 7aram! It was so sad when one of the ladies there told us to take her picture so that her mother could find her and come look for her. Ishi be2atti3 il 2alb!

Maioush: some of them don't have any family left and some have children but who are living outside the country. One lady kept proudly saying "My sons come and visit me every 3 or 4 months". Poor lady, it broke my heart. Is it too much of a burden to take his mom and let her live with him? Allah y3een ilnas. And ameen to ur prayer.

Tamara: That would be great! Could u please give me ur email?

Thanks KJ, الله يخليك :) hehe just trying the new Yamli feature

Qabbani: I got ur email that said u would be out of town. It's too bad u couldn't be there , it was great! Inshallah next time u'll be with us :)
