I left a message in an intra-family chat today. This was it's essence... "Families sometimes have the good fortune of having someone who changes the trajectory of the clan. When this is spoken of, it's usually due to changing the financial position of a family.. and often in consequence of that, other aspects of life too. New trajectories don't happen by chance. They come from a decision. And action. A dream. And execution. A vision. And actualisation. In the Matar family, there is a someone who changed the trajectory of his family. And that someone is your Grandfather Mohamad Matar. Your Grandfather is a gift to us, and to the broader family. And he has gifted us with much.. kicking off with the commitment to have myself & your Uncles & Aunts receive the key to opening future doors. Namely, the best possible education; irrespective of the cost to Him and Grandma.. Most recently, he stood firm with support for us going out to Australia Happy Birthday Grandad...
