Orange and pink letters word LIFE

Life is a gift from God, and enjoy while we are alive.

My name is Zahra, I am from Lebanon I grew up with perfect and lovely parents, I loved my childhood life and it will always stay the best memories in my life. My dad passed away when I was 9 years old, and my mom took care of me and my sister and my brother. She was the best woman I have met in my whole entire life; she also died one year ago.

I finished high school in Lebanon then I married my beautiful outstanding husband, later on, I moved to Abu Dhabi to live there. After one year of being married I continued studying history in university, when I finished, I started teaching social studies, from grade 5 to grade 9 in a private school, in Al Ain city. Living my life God gave me two beautiful kids, a girl and a boy; it changed my whole entire world.

I lived in Abu Dhabi from 1997 until 2013, the past years were my most ousting years of my life. On May 23 I had my car accident and I couldn’t walk again, so then we decided to move to Canada. It was really an amazing decision to move to Canada for my situation, we are here in Canada living an exciting life with new adventures coming our way, and that’s how I met my lovely English teacher.

This is my short life story, I hope one day I can walk again, I wish to see my kids having a good and successful life in the future.
