In a world filled with senseless violence and intolerance, thankfully there will always be room for music, songs for love, and prayers. Ms. Giulia Falcone’s pure voice, refreshing talent, and remarkable sensitivity, at a young age and in in all languages, are inspiring to say the least. Of note, her last song combines Italian with French. Bambi is happy she discovered Ms. Falcone and could not wait to share with you her talent. She thanks her for existing and urges her to keep singing to make our world a better place!
Bambi had a lot on her mind lately. As a result, her memory got a little birthday confusion. Indeed, she wrote in an earlier post dedicated to her cousins that Rana’s birthday was on February 4th, instead of the 6th. Thankfully, she just corrected this little mistake.
Before realizing the above though, and very early this morning, she wrote to both Rana and Karen [in the middle of her sleep :)] to say sorry for having missed their birthdays. How funny this moment was when her sister made her realize that their joint birthday is only tomorrow at their end in Lebanon, which is now at her end in Atlantic Canada.
Well, regardless of the precise day of this special month, she trusts that both Rana and Karen will forgive her for having made them slightly order :). At the end of the day, what matters is the expression of affection and the good wishes. Indeed, Bambi’s heart is filled with love for them. She considers herself blessed to have seen them both a month ago.
This being said, now is the time to conclude their post. In doing so, Bambi will address Karen first by saying the following: your aunt loves you beyond words and is proud of the wonderful woman you became. As for you Rana, your cousin who loves you a lot is inspired by you in so many ways, including your care for your parents (in addition to your cooking talent). Have fun both of you while singing for life, as per Mr. Michel Fugain’s song by Kids United (subtitled in English)!
In this brief musical post, and with much love, Bambi’s heart goes to her sister, and her colleagues too, as well as to her dear friends currently grieving a recently deceased loved one, including her own friend/family friend. Many of them are readers of this blog and they will recognize themselves. They may be reading now from as far as Lebanon or as close as Atlantic Canada (Sackville, Moncton, and Dieppe), and the USA. May the memory of their loved ones be eternal. Peace to their hearts and souls with every passing day and night.
Bambi is blessed to have wonderful cousins whose love is greater than space and time. Khalil and Rana are brother and sister. They are two of Bambi’s many wonderful cousins. They are so sweet and funny too. Today happens to be Khalil’s birthday, which will be followed by Rana’s in four days only [OK not the same year :)]. May they always remember how much they both mean, not just to Bambi, but also to her spouse and to all family members who live in almost every continent. May their new year be filled with love, laughter, and lots of good times!
Bécassine is a French sequence of cartoons (or a comic strip) and its female heroine. She stood the test of time since she appeared for the first time on February 2, 1905 (http://tinyurl.com/mrn9zkte)
For those who do not know her well, Bécassine is a Breton housemaid. In just a few minutes (Atlantic time), that is on February 2nd, this forever young character will turn 119. How can Bambi coldly go to bed before highlighting this exciting historical event? She will do so by offering Bécassine three songs chosen with much care and gratitude for the happy childhood memories. The first song features Ms. Chantal Goya with her cousin Bécassine :). The second melody is Tri Martolod, which means three sailors in Breton, with the talented Ms. Nolwenn Leroy [Bambi adores this song]. As for the third melody, of course it is Happy Birthday in French.
Long live Bécassine! Joyeux Anniversaire chère Madame Bécassine :)!
