We find it in the smiles of tender kisses on the cheeks and the embrace filled with love and sympathy since childhood, and in the evening tales and the reassuring feelings and feelings of youth for the keeper of secrets.

The scent of her perfume, the feel of her soft clothes, her pride, her self-esteem, and her respect for all are stuck in our souls.

We remember it with Eid takbeers, phone rings, and surprise holiday visits when it comes loaded with goodness.

We seek refuge in her wisdom with every problem, and we take refuge in her for her calm advice and her keenness on reunification, friendship and understanding differences.

We keep the memories of her gifts and gifts in the memory that is close and dear to our souls, and we are grateful for that beautiful altruism when we like something of her things, and she takes the initiative to give it to us in pure tenderness and humility.

We live in the places that brought us together, and we marvel at how much we have been able and delighted with the summer, the sea, and the occasions, and we lean on their presence and generosity.

We learned a lot in her assembly, the Qur’an, hadiths, supplications, wisdom, lessons, interesting stories and endless laughter.

When we share a love of a particular food, take the initiative to make it.

People know us by the similarity of our features with them, even if they are ignorant of our names, and they praise us for their origin and character, and they hold our hands in peace as a greeting to them.

Her words are good and her advice is gold. She is sweet-tongued, so there is no hurtful talk, no bad attitude or alienating behavior.

Just like a tall palm that rains around it giving without favor or favor, lofty, proud, dear to the soul and firmly rooted, so is the aunt in the life of each of us, an extension of the father’s love and affection, a dear pride in souls, and a large house that accommodates everyone.

Aunt the palm, prayers and wishes from the heart, and a constant question that does not stop no matter how far the distances are, and an intimate reception no matter how frequent the visits.

Our aunt, the owner of the place and value that grows in us as we grow up and experience life, and we know the value of parents and family and their importance in our lives and the lives of our children, she remains a light that illuminates the darkness of the soul and a bond of kinship that increases life, blessing and prayers that make their way to heaven.

The aunt, with the passage of time and in her old age, reaps everything that her hands planted in the young of her siblings, if love, then love, and if estrangement is the same, so it is not surprising that we see cohesive and strong families that have bonds and love that are inherited by generations and live by it for years and others, unfortunately, from estrangement and distance.

To every aunt, be a cloud of rain for your brothers and their children, forsake every disagreement and strife, and make spaces of love, understanding and pure friendship, so that with the days you become a lofty palm tree in their lives, and you will always remain in the heart of each of them “our aunt the palm tree.”

• The aunt reaps with the passage of time everything that she sowed in her younger siblings.
