Today is my parents' 55th wedding anniversary. They were 23 years old when they got married. My mum made her own wedding dress! They met in medical school in Cairo and have achieved their career goals together, as partners and equals. Happy Anniversary Mama and Baba! Many more! 
My parents had me a year after they married. On Aug. 2, I showed up at their doorstep for a surprise visit - our 1st since Nov 2019. I am so lucky and grateful to have been able to spend the past week with them. I wrote this about my family and nostalgia feministgiant.com/p/essay-exiled…
Yest I left my parents & came to see my brother & his family--1st visit since Nov. 2019. When my brother & his wife are back from work, we'll call our parents to wish them Happy Anniversary.
In this overwhelming time, find joy where you can. W/my sister for parents 50th anniv.
