I said June was starting great and
definitely I was right!
Jamil participated in football team
representing their company.
They have been training for almost
a month now, and yet they had to play against another team… a team composed of
well-trained players who have been training for years now!
Ghadi and I attended the match!
He was thrilled, and to be honest I
was way more excited than him!
It was the first time we both watch
a game live!
And with jamil among the team, we
cheered, we clapped and yelled!
It was hilarious!
The two teams were not equivalent
as expected!
The other team had double players,
and much better training and perfect performance.
Before the game started I explained
to ghadi that both winning and losing are ok!
It was funny and we laughed so
much… and ghadi learned the great
lesson: the sports spirit and that it’s ok to lose!
During the game, he looked at me
and asked: who is Jamil’s grandma?
I was shocked for a partial second
then I answered, it’s the mom of your grandms, Jamils’ mom!
I knew the next question and after
he asked it I answered: we don’t know her because she passed away long time
ago…
I knew where all this was leading
and I got a bit scared!
And then the inevitable question:
why did she pass away?
Silence…
He continued: her life is finished?
“kholiss omra?”- in arabic!
I said , hesitating: ye…s
He added: and she was too old?
Ye…s
And here we come:
And where does one go after he
dies?
………..
Oh boy.. why is it too hard to answer such a simple
question?
To paradise
I said
And what is that?
I was about to describe it but then
I thought it’s enough for now.. I didn’t want him maybe to be eager to see this
place and to search for a way to go there…
How would a four year old think, we
cannot expect!
So it was time to yell:
gooooooooooooal!!!!
Oh it’s a goal for the other team
(evidently!)
Oh, and Ghadi tried the pop out
chupa chups lollipop for the first time, it was a blast!
