Houda's early school days

I was five years old when I went to a French nun's school. Beirut had trams only and no buses. We used to travel on the trams and not so much cars at those times. The buildings were in brick and the weather was cooler than now. I went to school with my dad and before the school finished I would wait for my dad in the nun's room where they would call me clever and joke with me. I had 2 sisters and 3 brothers from 2 mums. I live near the beach in Beirut city Ras Beirut. My dad was a journalist and he wrote many political books. My mum just a house wife as women were not allowed to work at that time.
HOW I MET MY HUSBAND

I was 18 years old when I engaged to my husband. He was living in West Africa, so he can’t come to Beirut for the engagement, but he said he will be there for the wedding. The months past and the wedding day was soon, and again he wasn’t able to come for the big day. However, the marriage paper has been made with out him being present. So one month later, I went to meet him in Africa. I have got married to a wonderful man. We are together for 47years
