with my youngest sister, Layla at her birthday at home. I remember going out with Dad at about 4 years old to buy the very large and very expensive painting shown behind me. It was a winter evening.
Note the sleeves of my shirt ... it was my fashion signature.
and here with both my sisters, Afrah and Layla.
with mom, who is dressed rather conservatively here. She was often mistaken for a friend when we went out as she appears much younger than her age. Besides, she was only 16 when I was born. She was 15 when married my dad, who was then a famous national party leader (Al-Wafd) and was 45 at the time.
Mom's album of which my sister
took a picture of a picture here, had many photos of mom with us, but not one photo of us with Dad!
The photos below are copies taken in a hurry by sister with her pocket camera, picture of a picture - from an album mom has and refuses to release for duplication. Hence the modest quality.
