Bless you dad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An now time for some music. First, here is a fun kid&#8217;s song for you with a simple yet powerful message (perhaps to which, we should add that, in addition to the languages mentioned in the song, your daughter has enjoyed all our games about the standard Arabic language).  Of note, you were her first German teacher, in the shelter, when she was 15-16. Following this came the <em>Goethe Institute<\/em> (after that particularly long round of shelling ended). You kindly offered her your own first grammar book from Germany. She managed to bring to safety to Canada in 1990 with her. For this and for all, THANK you dad! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, of course we will conclude with a joyful song from Bambi, by Mr. Hicham el Hajj, recently highlighted on this blog (<em>Yalla Nifrah<\/em> or Let&#8217;s rejoice]. It is meant for you and for our dear relatives called variants of your name, with love. It is also meant for all the Tonys, Anthony, Antoine, and Antoinette of the world who will be perhaps reading this post one day [Nina, Bambi is thinking of Antoine now :)].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May everyone be safe, happy, and especially in touch with hope!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"C&#039;est toi mon papa - chanson pour enfants\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cib46ZMr6zQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"( \u0641\u064a\u062f\u064a\u0648 \u0643\u0644\u064a\u0628 ) \u0647\u0634\u0627\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0627\u062c - \u064a\u0644\u0627 \u0646\u0641\u0631\u062d | Hisham El Hajj - Yala Nefrah ( Video Clip )\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gJX6Eh0zHOc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-bambi-039-s-afkar\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"9kONm5LXW2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/2021\/12\/16\/azar-electric-an-inspiring-story-of-a-store-in-beirut\/\">Azar Electric: An inspiring story of a store in Beirut&#8230;<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Azar Electric: An inspiring story of a store in Beirut&#8230;&#8221; &#8212; Bambi&#039;s Afkar\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/2021\/12\/16\/azar-electric-an-inspiring-story-of-a-store-in-beirut\/embed\/#?secret=9kONm5LXW2\" data-secret=\"9kONm5LXW2\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/heart-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16800\" width=\"155\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/heart-10.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/heart-10-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 155px) 85vw, 155px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bambi is too excited to wait for midnight for this post about January 17.
