|mohammad is a [verb]|.

I remember kissing his face so hard, over and over that must have hurt him. We spent a night in each other’s arms, under the dining table and on the cold tiles. I had intentionally exposed myself to his infection, in the hope that I catch chickenpox. The burden of disease was reduced when we had to share a room in isolation. We had our first unforgettable childhood experience, scratched blisters, applied soothing cream and unlike nagging kids, we laughed about it. I learned early on, that I loved my brother unconditionally.
My brother mohammed was 11 months younger, so when I went to middle school he was yet in elementary. Obsessed with food, his double packed lunchbox served only as a snack. One day he secretly confessed to me about his growling stomach, “I have considered dropping out of school because I cannot control this noise.” Moving forward, I risked hopping to the elementary school building to deliver my lunchbox to him. The moment his fat cheeks pressed against mine (as a form of saying thank you) the compromise of my meals would become of long duration.
To be continued…
P.S. “We don’t just do things to leave them in the past. We don’t just say things and expect them not to last.” |done is a [noun]|.

My Country by Choice.
Lead Writer : Shahad Al Robaian
Lead Photographer : Mahdi MalAllah.
She overheard our conversation about the fountain at Al Shaheed Park. “This can’t get any better.” she said. I was puzzled. But the fountain is closed, you must be referring to something else. “Yes, I meant home.” And just when I thought she lived across the street from here, Malika raised her finger and pointed towards the flag. (The Flag of Kuwait located in the center of Al Shaheed Park.) “My country of birth is my country by obligation, but the country that has offered me a job, educated my children and provided for a family is my country by choice. At 58, I don’t wish to retire in peace because I am already at peace. Accustomed to privilege, Kuwait is definitely my country by choice”
P.S. Malika Arachige has been living in Kuwait for the past 25 years and does not plan to go back to Sri Lanka. She currently works in Sales at Al Awqaf Complex.

DXB to Boston.
Lead Writer : Shahad Al Robaian.
It’s particularly hard to cry in public. Agree? Well, it does not matter because I cried anyway. I had plenty of time on a 13 hour flight from Dubai to Boston. A flight attendant approached with an option, only not to cater. “My name is Ariane Jimenez, can we both disregard our being on board Emirates Boeing 777-300ER and perhaps just talk?, she said. I couldn’t help but wipe my tears with the napkins she instantly handed me. “You are very beautiful, let me guess... Russian?”, “Spanish” she smiled and started to listen to my side of story.
Ariane had recently experienced juggling work and caring for a sick family member, so we were already on the same page. She then told me this little trick about “Mindset in Between”. The trick was simple yet practically effective. I know because I tried it on the spot. “It’s okay to cry but not too much. Emirates Airlines granted me leave from work when I had to deal with grief, but it was never enough. At that time, I came up with my “Mindset in Between” theory. You can believe that you either have a fixed mindset (born with a certain level of ability that you cannot change) or, a growth mindset (in control of your own ability that you can improve). Mindset in Between, is neither, you were not born with it nor can you control it. It is an ironic and powerful mindset that does not have the power of ability, but does have the power to perform mental competence against inevitable hardship. Mindset in Between is your underlying readiness created to accept a situation that does not allow for you to improve and change.”
Thank you Ariane for your wisdom. At some point, grief does not magically end, but my Mindset in Between always does the trick.
P.S. I took this quick photo of Ariane as I was leaving the aircraft. After 13 hours of flying and turbulence and she just remains beautiful!

( الجزء الاول )
37-5العنوان:
حبيبتي اسمها نادية. جميلة. تملك جاذبية المرآه الكويتية. تتميز بذكائها العاطفي وبحبها للحياة. كانت نادية حبيبة ابوها "بابا سالم" ومن حبه لها ظلت الناس تسمي "بو نادية" حتى بعد ولادة اخوها. عاشت نادية احلى طفولة مع اخوانها وخواتها، وحقق لها بابا سالم كل شي تتمناه اي بنت. تعلمت نادية في احسن المدارس والجامعات، ولفوا العالم كله مع بعض. وفي يوم كل هذا تغيير.
أول سنة بزواجها في 1987، اكتشفت نادية إنها مريضة بالسرطان (سرطان المبايض) وظلت تتعالج أكثر من 12 سنة بين ألماليا وامريكا ولندن. خلال هذة الفترة اجرت نادية اكثر من 27 عملية جراحية، واضطرت تتعلم تخيط عملياتها بنفسها لأن اغلب جروحها ما كانت تلحم من أول مرة، وتوفى اولادها الثلاثة في بطنها.
لما رجعت نادية الكويت وعبالها بترتاح بعد فترة علاج طويلة، تعرضت اختها الجعدة للسرطان (سرطان الغدة)، وبعد ما فشلت عمليتها بالكويت سافرت معاها امريكا، واضطرت تاخذ أمها وأبوها لتدهور حالتهم الصحية. تعالجت اختها ورجعت ديرتها، وظلت نادية مع امها وابوها. باعت نادية بيتها مع زوجها عشان تدفع تكاليف عملية خطيرة لأمها وعشان ما يقصون ريلها. عاشت نادية مع امها وابوها واختها بين المستشفى والبيت اكثر من 3 سنوات متواصلة.
وفي يوم، مرضت اختها اللي اصغرمنها وعرفت إن فيها سرطان (سرطان الحبل الشوكي)، ما ترددت نادية وسافرت امريكا مرة ثانية لمدة سنة تشرف على علاجها. وبين عمليات وكيماوي فشل علاج اختها ،وتفتفت عظامها واخذ الله امانتها في 2001. لما توفت اختها ما استحملت امها الخبر وتعرضت لعدة نوبات قلبية وتوفت في 2003. وفجاءة بدون مقدمات توفى زوج نادية في 2004. ساءت حالت بابا سالم بعد موت زوجته وتعرض لجلطتين بالمخ وبعدها صار في سرطان (سرطان الدم وسرطان العظام). ظلت نادية ترعاه حتى اخر لحظة بحياتة في 2007. تعرضت نادية لاربع انواع سرطان. سرطان الثدي في 2012، وسرطان الغدة في 2016 وظلت تتعالج بين الفترتين. استأصلوا كل الاورام الموجوة فيها بعد اجراء اكثر من 7 عمليات.
لما أسأل خالتي نادية في 2017 عن حياتها، تبتسم وتقول، "ربي الكريم لقد وهبتني كل شي، ربي لك الحمد، بنتي الي ما يابتها بطني يااحلى نعمة، لازم تفهمين إن كل شي مقدر ومكتوب، وإن الله ما يكلف النفس إلا وسعها، وانا بنت بابا سالم، عشت احلى طفولة، والله كريم عوضني بعيال بعدد عيالي الي ماتوا، وعطني القوة والصبر عشان ادير بالي على أمي وأبوي وأخوي وخواتي، صج إني فقدت بيتي وفلوسي وصحتي، بس عمري ما احتجت لأحد.

Barbara & Abby 💑

Lead Writer : Shahad Al Robaian

In a bustling breakfast area, the foul odor of eggs was not balanced out by waffles and coffee. We had to join a couple old folks, who by that time were deliberating their leftovers. I took out my disinfectant wipes and started to clean our space at the table. With a face wrinkled beyond recognition the lady smiled and said, “I like that you did that.”

Two hours later, and I could write a book about Barbara and Abby. At a point in her life, Barbara was bit by a black widow spider while sleeping, challenged Near Death Experience (NDE) and her tailor-made blanket collection was once sold at Macy’s. I learned that Abby is a retired soldier who fought in World War II (WW2), suffers from memory loss, but somehow astonishingly remembers the first time he met Barbara. My aunt explained her medical situation and that she would undergo surgery the next morning. Eventually we left without exchanging contacts.

Twenty days post my aunts hospital discharge, I bumped into Barbara and Abby at our hotel lobby. ‘’I came looking for you guys, the receptionist tried to help but I couldn’t recall your names, she said.’’ As I hugged her, I heard Abby in the background trying to explain himself in the same way. They asked for permission to visit my aunt at her room and make sure she was feeling better. Obviously, I was very happy to welcome Barbara and Abby as friends.

Barbara and Abby were never hotel guests but they came occasionally to dine. I was surprised to find out that they had passed by the hotel several times when my aunt was admitted at the hospital, trying to look for us and check up on my aunt’s health status. My heart was so touched. It still is… Sometimes sitting next to some strangers settles forever into your heart.
