Angels on Earth

She raised 5 kids in a 3 bed, 1 bathroom home in San Francisco. She's gone to church every Sunday for the past, well actually, her whole life. She sings in the choir every Sunday. She keeps a kitchen that always has tons of home cooked Arabic food ready to eat. She won't be happy until you are completely, overwhelmingly stuffed with her food. She has the most beautiful smile and caring eyes. She is probably the most popular senior citizen I know, as her telephone line is always busy (she has a ton of girlfriends from church). She loves watching her soap operas, especially Days of Our Lives. She loves to dance. She won't go to sleep until she knows that each and every one of her children are safe. She is the glue that keeps my family so tight. She is charming, warm hearted and a wonderful human being.

She is my Teta.





It's so important to treasure and appreciate the people in our lives who have been there for us.. the people who love us and the people who would sacrifice anything for us. The individuals in our lives who protect, love and guide us are, in other words, our angels. This is what angels do... love, protect and guide. Many times we don't realize that we have many angels here on earth.. whether they are our parents, grandparents, friends, a co-worker, mentor, professor, neighbor or a significant other.

Teta is one of my special angels here on earth. And there's nothing, and I mean nothing, I wouldn't do for her.
