I'm Back!
Hello everyone,
I missed all of you so much but as you know I have been busy with my family visit...I can't even begin to tell you how much fun I had with them...I totally expected a stressful visit especially from my mom because my last visit to Kuwait ended in a bad note! But to my surprise things changed a lot...We bonded in a way I never expected...We talked a lot and she listened...Something we never did in the past...I was myself for the very first time with my parents and I feel reborn after this experience...It's amazing how being honest with myself and my parents had set me free from a lot of pain and denial I was going through...al7emdallah I'm very happy and satisfied with their visit.
This is my parents good-bye note they left me by the door :(
So here are some of the highlighs of their visit
I got spoiled...mom was cooking almost every day....I have to say her cooking skills improved...hahahahha....Since me and my brother cook better than her...But never the less she did a good job...I pretended I was clueless when it came to cooking and she was explaining how to do this and that...It was sooo sweet ;)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Viva Las Vegas ;)
We drove to Las Vegas...My mom gave me a lecture...She couldn't believe that I have been driving in this desert to Vegas so many times before! hahahahahha...I don't think she'll ever let me drive to Vegas again...LOL
we stayed at the Venetian and they loved the hotel...ooh did I mention I won 200 dollars at the slot machines? ;)
----------------------------------------------------------
I Left My Heart in San Francisco ;)
We went to San Francisco and it was my first time there...Oh my god I fell in love with the city...It was one of the most beautiful places I ever visited in the States...I couldn't believe it took me that long to see San Francisco but I'm glad I got to see it for the first time with my parents...I took a lot of pictures there so I'm gonna end this post with some of the pictures I took...Enjoy :)
A beautiful Sailing boat
Golden Gate
Alcatraz
Gebabgeb anyone?
Remember the show Full House?
according to our tour guide Jerry Garcia used to live in the this purple house! Cool :)

So glad you had a good time.I can't read the note but I'm guessing that by your description that your parents have come to the place where they don't see themselves as your guardian anymore but see you as their adult child.:) Good for you!
