To my grandson “Kian” – By Hossam Badrawi

To my grandson “Kian”
Written by
Grandpa
Kayan, oh dawn coming after trouble,
On a difficult journey, I came too soon,
Announcing your arrival, between tears and smiles.
You are the will of heaven
With the love of your family, hands around you,
By the supplication of their hearts, you were the everlasting dawn.
Every day with you, entity, is a holiday,
In your presence, all happiness
It grows and increases.
My beautiful grandson, with your smile,
Life comes into my soul,
And it shines,
And my day is filled and pulsating
I feel your happiness
.
And if you laugh, flowers grow around you.
You are a miracle that touched my soul
Days and months.
Every day proves that you are our holiday,
A blessing from God, for our hearts to increase.
With you, and my granddaughters
A king, God’s gift and his joy
I am complete and my joy is indescribable
In his words
Oh my grandson, oh pulse of life, oh hope,
Our love surrounds you with security.
May God protect us as an entity
With your presence
Our existence is complete

About Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Dr. Hossam Badrawi
He is a politician, intellect, and prominent physician. He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people
