Good Bye Baba Jaber...

Well, I was not thinking about it much but then when I was watching TV just moments ago, I discovered that this man means a lot more to me than I thought he did...at some point more than the Mubarak...

Since I was 3, I was taught at school to call him Baba Jaber or Father Jaber and since then he has became a significant symbol of Kuwait to us as individuals as much he was to the world...He was leading Kuwait to being what it is now as the richest per capita in the Gulf; with one of the most educated people in the Middle East and North Africa. It would be misleading to think that his impact has only touched Kuwait but then the money Kuwait has been donating all around the developing world has made a lasting impact on the lives of many people around the world.

When our homes were taken away from us, he was traveling from one country to the other, trying to get support military intervention to get Kuwait back its rights and dignity...If not for him, Kuwait would have become the 19th Iraqi state. He got us back our possessions, our memories, he helped in getting us back our lives that were stolen on the 2nd of August 1990...

Baba Jaber's face with his comforting smile will never leave my memory...

May Baba Jaber's soul rest in peace

Thanks Baba Jaber...Thanks Kuwait...
