My sister and INouhad (known later as Fayrouz) was born in Beirut, in a modest house. She attended the St. Joseph School for girls.
Our father worked hard as a typesetter in a printing shop to provide the proper shelter and education for us.
Due to World War II, he could no longer afford the luxury of private schools, so Nouhad had to go to a public school.
Our family had a rough time but our mother Liza al-Bustani did the impossible to retain our pride among other children. She encouraged us to go to church every Sunday. She raised us on the love of others.
"Do not envy others, be satisfied with what you have, and always love each other" - those were her daily words to us from our first day till she passed away in 1961 (she was only 45).
Our youth was full of pain and poverty, but we grew up with dignity and pride. | © Joseph W. Haddad
