So basically I was very close to my sister and past year in 2023 she moved to Saudi Arabia. But I missed her like anything because we were never being apart other than this year. We always used to hang out, go for lunch date, shopping date and my niece and nephews were like my own children. So when she moved out I was desperately waiting and I was constantly asking her when are you coming back? When will I be able to see my nephew and niece? And she was like yeah I’m missing you too. I will come in Sha’a line 2023-2024. Now that she was coming I was desperately waiting for like two months. I was preparing my list, my shopping list. I was preparing for my holidays. I was asking my company to give me at least two weeks of holidays when she will be arriving. I had planned everything and when she arrived I didn’t thought I was like I will be able to miss her that much. But as soon as she arrived oh my god I heard her like right. And I never thought that siblings are true gift from God.

So basically, I was very close to my sister, and last year in 2023, she moved to Saudi Arabia. I missed her a lot because we had never been apart other than this year. We always used to hang out, go for lunch dates, and shopping trips, and my niece and nephews were like my own children. When she moved, I was desperately waiting and constantly asking her when she was coming back. When would I be able to see my nephew and niece? She would say, 'Yeah, I'm missing you too. I will come, in Sha'a Allah, 2023-2024.' Now that she was coming, I was desperately waiting for about two months. I was preparing my shopping list and getting ready for my holidays. I was asking my company to give me at least two weeks of vacation when she would be arriving. I had planned everything, and when she arrived, I didn't think I would miss her that much. But as soon as she arrived, oh my God, I was so happy. I never thought that siblings are a true gift from God.
