I was an orphan from my mother, an orphan from my father, and a widow from her husband at a young age. I lay on my remaining aunt's knee: "What is it that God cannot give or take with you? "What kind of business, what kind of justice is this?" I was joking around. Suddenly he came through the door. How did we get together, how did my mother warn Ramadan, how did all this happen suddenly? I don't know... We threw a cushion under him and made him sit down. We kissed his hand. "Good. "You came, you came to peace, you brought abundance to our home!" we said. He is not that eighty-year-old man at all. He is vigorous! He is still active in his own direction. It is difficult to mislead him in the matters he talks about. He translates the Arabic verses he reads without thinking..."
