On this Mother\u2019s Day, I stand before every mother in my life with a heart full of gratitude and pride\u2026<\/p>\n

They are not just mothers; they are silent strength, continuous wisdom, and an endless love that shapes us day after day.<\/p>\n

First: Mothers of this new generation<\/strong>\u2026
Those who face daily criticism, yet continue to raise, work, provide, stay up late, and still smile.
You are true heroes in my eyes\u2026<\/p>\n

Women who care for their homes, support their families, work tirelessly morning and evening, spend, nurture, teach, prepare food, clothes, and books, take their children to training and private lessons\u2014all while managing their own jobs.<\/p>\n

They are the same women who carry, give birth, nurse, and stay awake through countless nights\u2014day after day, hour after hour.<\/p>\n

Next\u2014without ranking\u2014is my daughter<\/strong>, whom I call \u201cmy happy thoughts.\u201d
She is optimistic, smiling, and beautiful in both appearance and spirit.<\/p>\n

She accompanies her daughters, encourages them to exercise, attends their physical training and music lessons, shares every moment of their lives, participates in all their school activities, reads with and to them, and fills her family\u2019s life with joy and knowledge.<\/p>\n

Because she is a beautiful soul, she has devoted part of her efforts to supporting children with diabetes and their mothers, helping them avoid the long-term complications of the disease.<\/p>\n

I look at her and say: this is a woman worthy of being a role model.
She neither gave up nor collapsed when faced with illness, but confronted it with a smile and triumphed with determination\u2014without burdening those around her with her struggles.<\/p>\n

Dalia is a mother through emotion, knowledge, positive support, and constant presence.
She knows when to step in and when to give her children freedom.<\/p>\n

In my view, she is an ideal mother\u2014and I am proud of her.<\/p>\n

The third\u2014and first\u2014is my wife\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every mother loves, protects, nurtures, and gives without expecting anything in return\u2014that is what makes a mother.
But my wife wrapped her motherhood in friendship, without pressure or formality.<\/p>\n

She is present in her children\u2019s lives by their desire and joy.
The first thing they think of after any event\u2014happy or painful\u2014is to call her.
She is safety without words, comfort without noise, and a space where they can express themselves freely.<\/p>\n

I say to her, as a witness, that this is her greatest achievement in life:
their emotional balance, their integrity, their behavior, and their relationships\u2014all are the result of her continuous love.<\/p>\n

When our grandchildren came\u2014like birds singing in the sky of our lives\u2014she became an extraordinary grandmother: loving, wise, present, and responsible, without overstepping.<\/p>\n

As a husband and father, I know that much of the love our children have for me is thanks to a mother who nurtured in them everything beautiful.<\/p>\n

I love you, thank you, respect you, and appreciate you.<\/p>\n

The fourth\u2014without order\u2014is my sister\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

She is strong, supportive\u2014like a thousand men.
A sister who is kind, a friend, and passionate is a blessing.<\/p>\n

She is a source of affection and strength, a constant presence across time.
A scientist, a doctor, and a caretaker for everyone in the family.<\/p>\n

No one has her level of influence or presence.
She is always available, always supportive, and the first person every mother thinks of in moments of need.<\/p>\n

She is the wall of support for every small family within our big one\u2014not just because of her knowledge, but because of the comfort she brings.<\/p>\n

Even as children grow, she remains their doctor, their beloved, their mother.<\/p>\n

She is my sister, my first friend, and my lifelong support.<\/p>\n

And the mother of all mothers\u2014my mother\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

She is the dearest, closest to my mind, soul, and heart.<\/p>\n

How did she manage to be this gentle melody in our lives\u2014without noise, without ever asking for anything?<\/p>\n

She was the source of love, harmony, joy, and connection among us.
Without interference, she remained a meaningful presence in each of our lives.<\/p>\n

Her love for our father was a model for every wife.
Her calmness and contentment quietly shaped us.<\/p>\n

Without asking, she made being around her a joy.<\/p>\n

She is my beautiful mother\u2014the most beautiful in our family.
In her elegance, silence, and smile.<\/p>\n

I loved you, I love you, and I miss you after your passing\u2026<\/p>\n

I love your calmness, your patience, your acceptance.
I love your quiet strength through the years\u2014without complaint.<\/p>\n

You were and still are the inspiration of our hearts.<\/p>\n

I am not writing poetry about my mother\u2014I am simply describing her as she is.
And my words will never do her justice.<\/p>\n

We gravitated toward her without being called, and when we met her, her smile filled us\u2014without blame or reproach.<\/p>\n

On Mother\u2019s Day\u2014one of the dearest occasions to my heart\u2014I say to every mother in my family and among my friends:
Happy Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court.

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hossambadrawi\/","https:\/\/x.com\/HossamBadrawi"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13787"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13787\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13789,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13787\/revisions\/13789"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
