Bambi is blessed in life. She has two wonderful sisters, not just one. She misses them both so much… beyond words.
One of Bambi’s sisters, the eldest, is celebrating her birthday today.
Happy birthday, “ma grande” et… “mon amie, pas juste ma soeur” :). May you have a wonderful day!
Roula, your birthday comes two days after International Women’s Day. This is a beautiful coincidence for a talented woman who has excelled in her advocacy for women’s rights not just in Lebanon, but also in the Arab world (via the UN and other international leadership agencies where you have mentored talented men and women (like you, trying to make our world a better place). Thank you for all that you do. Please keep up the inspiring work!
To conclude this post on a musical note, here are a few songs for you from Bambi… with love ❤️!
The joyful yet deep lyrics of the song about the feast’s sun, shown above, can be summarized as follows: “Be happy today, not tomorrow (as it is far away)”. Thanks to Ms. Elissa for her nice version!
“Tomorrow the feast’s sun will rise
With the promise of a new day
Live today
Love today
Today is here… Tomorrow is far away
If life feels like all wounds
Your tears won’t do you any good
Let the sad song
Sing in your feast’s evening
Don’t let the days slip away
Slip away from your hands
Live today… Love today
Today is here… Tomorrow is far away
Don’t blame the garden’s flowers
It’s not their fault their thorns are big
And thank your God, human
For he has made you see those thorns
Flowers are picked up in April
Flowers don’t last a day
Like flowers live the day
Today is here… Tomorrow is far away”.
Bambi’s sister is also a deer? I had no idea. It must be something to see you amid a whole herd of sisters and cousines whose names all rhyme with Roula like Voula, Frutella, Praxoula, you get the joke.
Bonne Fête / Happy Birthday Roula!
Too funny— yes she is a “dear deer” ? :). She will smile to your comment and Bambi says “poly” thanks! All these names are beautiful to her ears.
Happy birthday Rola ????
Ohhh— thank you dearest Nalida for your sweet words and lovely flowers :). Roula will appreciate them! ???
I also wish Bambi’s sister the happiest of days possible today ?
How sweet! Bambi thanks you, Achim, and her sister will be touched ??!
